It's time to catch the Monterey Cause the man I wed he waits for me And the daughter that he's yet to see U.S. 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 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 she's gone to meet her sailor man 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 hand the faded photo of a man catch a sailor if you can the war bride leaves her southern land 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 she's gone to meet her sailor man this is the story of the starry nights through desert plains and city lights through burning sun and driving rain she wept aboard the bridal train 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 over land she's gone to meet her sailor man If you find some error in Bridal Train Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Bridal Train Bittersweet Memories | Reviewer: Donna | 12/24/2007 Visiting my Mom in the final days of her life, I was introduced to this tune by Sara Cruz, a musical therapist for a seniors residence in Northern Arizona. Sara shared that my Mom had fallen in love with her rendition of this tune, frequently requesting that Sara sing this for her. By the time I landed in Arizona, my Mom was already in hospice care and in a near unconscious state. Yet, Sara would pull up a chair and sweetly sing this tune, bringing obvious comfort to my Mom. The bittersweet nature of this song's lyrics apparently spoke deeply to Mom, just as hearing them now these lyrics speak to me of Mom. Bridal Train - Australian Women | Reviewer: Guy | 11/21/2007 I love this track. I play it over and over. My son has started singing it in the car with me. It captures an essence of the Australian character so perfectly but it also speaks to the universal experience of people displaced around the world; a commitment to love and an ideal but also of a gutsiness. And it speaks to loss and grief and the pain of life; that life comes at a cost to us all. You guys remind me of the Triffids. Must be something about WA! bridal ship from Egypt to Australia | Reviewer: Mariette | 9/18/2007 This song is so powerful, my Mum came to Australia from Egypt as a war bride leaving behind family and friends to come to a strange country. A very similar journey experienced by the young women who left Australia. How brave they all are. Thank you for acknowledging their courage. I saw you perform on Denton and I wept with joy - thank you so much.
