A telegram arrived today, 
Well its 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 its 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
