Ballad of the Nazi Soldier’s Wife Lyrics by Ellen Burstyn

Ben Bagley’s Kurt Weill Revisited, Vol. II

0

[Verse 1]
And what was sent to the soldier's wife
From that ancient capital, Prague?
From Prague they sent her the high-heeled shoes
Hoping she could use
Handsome high-heeled shoes
That was what they sent her from Prague
[Verse 2]
And what was sent to the soldier's wife
From Oslo, out on the sound?
From Oslo they sent her a brand new fur
Best of luck to her
And a brand new fur
Sent from Oslo out on the sound
[Bridge]
And what was sent to the soldier's wife
From wealthy Amsterdam?
From Amstеrdam they sent her thе hat
She was so pleased with that
An elegant Dutch hat
That they sent her from Amsterdam
[Verse 3]
And what was sent to the soldier's wife
From the city of lights, Paris?
From Paris they sent her a fine silk dress
To her neighbor's distress
Why should she have a dress
Like the one they sent from Paris?
[Bridge]
And what was sent to the soldier's wife
From exotic Bucharest?
From Bucharest they sent her the blouse
How it brightened the house
That Romanian blouse
That they sent her from Bucharest
[Verse 4]
And what was sent to the soldier's wife
From Russia, so far away?
From Russia they sent her the long black veil
For a widow so pale
Needs a long black veil
From Russia, so far away
From Russia, so far away
