Bridal Train

The Waifs

Compositor: The Waifs

A telegram arrived today
It is time to catch the Monteray
'cause' the man I wed' he waits for me
And the daughter that he's yet to see
The you. S navy beamed its message
We'll deliver brides on a one way passage
It made big news across the nation
The bridal train leaves from perth station

Chorus
All the girls around Australia
Married to a yankee sailor
Your fare is paid across the sea
To the home of the brave
And the land of the free
From west to east the young girls came
All aboard the bridal train
It was a farewell crossing of their land
She's gone to meet her sailor man

No time for sad good byes
She held her mother as she cried
Then waited there in the freo rain
To climb aboard the bridal train
Well she was holding her future in her hand
A faded photo of a man
Catch a sailor if you can
The war bride leaves her southern land

Chorus
All the girls around Australia
Married to a yankee sailor
Your fare is paid across the sea
To the home of the brave
And the land of the free
From west to east the young girls came
All aboard the bridal train
It was a farewell crossing of her land
She's gone to meet her sailor man

This is the story of those starry nights
Through desert plains and city lights
Through burning Sun, and driving rain
She wept aboard the bridal train

Chorus
All the girls around Australia
Married to a yankee sailor
Your fare is paid across the sea
To the home of the brave
And the land of the free
From west to east the young girls came
All aboard the bridal train
It was a farewell crossing of their land
She's gone to meet her sailor man
