	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 over the sound ?
	From Oslo he sent her a collar of fur,
	How it pleases her, the little collar of fur
	From Oslo over 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 Belgian land ?
	From Brussels he sent her the laces so rare
	To have and to wear,
	All those laces so rare
	From Brussels in Belgian land.
	What was sent to the soldier's wife
	From Paris, city of light ?
	From Paris he sent 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, from Bucharest ?
	From Bucharest he got her this shirt
	Embroidered and pert, that Rumanian shirt
	From the South, from Bucharest.
	What was sent to the soldier's wife
	From the far-off Russian land ?
	From Russia he sent her a widow's veil
	For her dead to bewail in her widow's veil
	From the far-off Russian land,
	From the far-off Russian land.
	Thank you.
