Bridal Train [Studio Version] Lyrics by The Waifs

0

Tellegram arrived today
It's time to catch the monteray
Cos' the man i wed' he waits for me
And the daughter that he's yet to see
The U.S navy beamed it's message
We'll deliver brides on a one way passage
It made big news accross 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
Shes 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
Just a faded photo of a man
Catch a sailor if you can
The war bride leaves to 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
Shes 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
Shes gone to meet her sailor man
