Ballad of the Soldier's Wife
PJ Harvey

What was sent to the soldier's wife,nFrom the ancient city of Prague?nFrom Prague came a pairnOf high heeled shoesnWith a kiss or twonCame the high heeled shoesnFrom the ancient city of Prague.nnWhat was sent to the soldier's wife,nFrom Oslo, over the sound?nFrom Olse there camenA collar of furnHow appeases hernLittle collar of furnFrom Oslo, over the sound.nnWhat was sent to the soldier's wife,nFrom the wealth of Amsterdam?nFrom AmsterdamnHe got her a hatnShe looked sweet in thatnIn the little Dutch hatnFrom the wealth of Amsterdam.nnWhat was sent to the soldier's wife,nFrom Brussels in Belgium land?nFrom Brussels he sentnLaces so rarenTo have and to wearnOh, those laces so rarenFrom Brussels in Belgium land.nnWhat was sent to the soldier's wife,nFrom Paris, city of light?nIn Paris he gotnHer a silken gownnT'was end in townnOh, silken gownnFrom Paris, city of light.nnWhat was sent to the soldier's wife,nFrom the south from Bucharest?nFrom BucharestnHe sent her his shirtnEmbroidered and pertnThat Rumanian shirtnFrom the south from Bucharest.nnWhat was sent to the soldier's wife,nFrom far-off Russian landnFrom Russia there camenJust a widow's veilnFrom death to be wednIn her widow's veilnFrom far-off Russian land.
