Telegram arrived today
Bm
well it's time to catch the Monterey
C
coz the man i wed he waits for me
Em D
and the 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
[Chorus]
C D
All the girls around Australia
G Em
married to a Yankee sailor
C
the fare is paid across the sea
Em D
to the home of the brave and the land of the free
C D
From west to east the young girls came
G Em
all aboard the Bridal Train
C
it was a farewell crossing over land
D G
she's gone to meet her sailor man
[Verse]
No time for sad goodbyes
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 hands
a faded photo of a man
catch a sailor if you can
the war bride leaves her southern land
[Chorus]
C D
All the girls around Australia
G Em

all aboard the Bridal Train
C
it was a farewell crossing over land
D G
she's gone to meet her sailor man
[Bridge]
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
