What did the wife of the soldier get
From the ancient city of Prague?
From Prague she got the linen shirt
It matched her skirt did the linen shirt
She got from the city of Prague
What did the wife of the soldier get
From Brussels, the Belgian town?
From Brussels she got the delicate lace
Oh, the charm and grace of the delicate lace
She got from the the Belgian town
What did the wife of the soldier get
From Paris, the city of light?
From Paris she got the silken dress
Oh, to possess the silken dress
She got from the city of light
What did the wife of the soldier get
From Libya's desert sands?
From Libya the little charm
Around her arm she wore the charm
She got from the desert sands
What did the wife of the soldier get
From Russia's distant steppes?
From Russia she got the widow's veil
The end of the tale is the widow's veil
She got from the distant steppes
