Ballad Of The Soldier's Wife Lyrics - Coldplay

What was sent to the soldier's wife 

From the ancient city of Prague 

From Prague came a pair of high heeled shoes 

With a kiss or two came the high heeled shoes 

From the ancient city of Prague. 

What was sent to the soldier's wife 

From Oslo of the sound 

From Oslo they came 

What a collar fur 

How it pleases her 

The little collar fur 

From Oslo of the sound

What was sent to the soldier's wife 

From the wealth of Amsterdam 

From Amsterdam he got her a hat 

She looked sweet in that 

In her little Dutch hat 

From the wealth of Amsterdam 

What was sent to the soldier's wife 

From Brussels in Belgium land 

From Brussels he sent her laces so rare 

To have and to wear 

All those laces so rare 

From Brussels in Belgium land 

What was sent to the soldier's wife 

From Paris city of light 

In Paris he got her a silken gown 

It was ended in town that silken gown 

From Paris city of light

What was sent to the soldier's wife 

From the South Bucharest 

From Bucharest he sent her shirt 

Embroidered and pert that Romanian shirt 

From the South Bucharest 

What was sent to the soldier's wife 

From the far of Russian land 

From Russia they came just a widow's veil 

From a dead to bewailed in the widow's veil 

Far of Russian land
