Of high heeled shoes
With a kiss or two
Came the high heeled shoes
From the ancient city of Prague.

From the south from Bucharest?

Embroidered and pert

What was sent to the soldier's wife,
From far-off Russian land
From Russia there came
Just a widow's veil
From death to be wed
In her widow's veil
From far-off Russian land.
