A telegram arrived today, Well it's time to catch the Monterey 'Cause the man I wed, he waits for me And a daughter that he's yet to see
US Navy beamed it's message, Will deliver brides on a one way passage It made big news across the nation The bridal train leaves from Perth station
All the girls around Australia Married to a Yankee sailor The 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
No time for sad goodbyes, Well she held her mother as she cried And then waited there in the Freo Rain, To climb aboard the bridal train
Well she was holding her future in her hand Yeah the faded photo of her man Catch a sailor if you can The war bride leaves a southern land
All the girls around Australia Married to a Yankee Sailor The 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
Now this is the story of those starry nights Through desert plains and city lights Through burning sun and driving rain They wept aboard the bridal train
All the girls around Australia Married to a Yankee sailor The 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
