Waifs - Bridal Train [Studio Version] lyrics
rate meTellegram arrived today,<br />
It's time to catch the monteray,<br />
Cos' the man i wed' he waits for me,<br />
And the daughter that he's yet to see,<br />
The U.S navy beamed it's message, <br />
We'll deliver brides on a one way passage,<br />
It made big news accross the nation, <br />
The bridal train leaves from perth station,<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
All the girls around Australia,<br />
Married to a yankee sailor, <br />
Your fare is paid across the sea,<br />
To the home of the brave,<br />
And the land of the free, <br />
From west to east the young girls came,<br />
All aboard the bridal train, <br />
It was a farewell crossing of their land,<br />
Shes gone to meet her sailor man,<br />
<br />
No time for sad good byes,<br />
She held her mother as she cried, <br />
Then waited there in the freo rain, <br />
To climb aboard the bridal train, <br />
Well she was holding her future in her hand,<br />
Just a faded photo of a man,<br />
Catch a sailor if you can, <br />
The war bride leaves to her southern land, <br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
All the girls around Australia,<br />
Married to a yankee sailor,<br />
Your fare is paid across the sea,<br />
To the home of the brave,<br />
And the land of the free,<br />
From west to east the young girls came,<br />
All aboard the bridal train, <br />
It was a farewell crossing of her land,<br />
Shes gone to meet her sailor man,<br />
<br />
This is the story of those starry nights,<br />
Through desert plains and city lights,<br />
Through burning sun,<br />
And driving rain,<br />
She wept aboard the bridal train,<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
All the girls around Australia,<br />
Married to a yankee sailor, <br />
Your fare is paid across the sea,<br />
To the home of the brave,<br />
And the land of the free, <br />
From west to east the young girls came,<br />
All aboard the bridal train, <br />
It was a farewell crossing of their land,<br />
Shes gone to meet her sailor man,
