In a 2007 interview with Andrew Denton, Vikki Thorn explained the song: "Yeah, my my grandmother was a war bride, after the Second World War. She met Bob Cain, he was an American sailor. And they met in Perth, and after a very brief engagement, married and then he was sent away. She received a telegram at about midnight one night, saying eh pack your things, there’s a train, ah the US Navy is chartering a a train to take ah war brides to Sydney, and from Sydney you can board a ship, and we’ll take you to America to be with your husbands, and I just wonder how those women must have felt as they were journeying across their country possibly for the last time you know to go and live in this, in this new place and you know with children, and you know I was…I get a bit emotional still when I sing that song."

the Waifs are still together as a band, although some of them live in the states now. But they still tour and produce albums. I think at the moment they are busy producing children.

Then you should also listen to Sara Storer same great honest vocal tone with AWESOME aussie accent. Simmilar music too, just more blugrass/country as opposed to the Waifs folky/indie/country.

Rae Liddle

I heard this on ABC radio today and the story about the Waifs' Great Grandmother, it made me cry. So moving. I shared this with my girls, makes you wonder how their mums must've felt, losing their girls overseas.
