There's a port, on a western bay
And it serves, a hundred ships a day
The sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes.
And there's a girl, in this harbour town
And she works, layin whiskey down
They say Brandy, fetch another round
She serves them whiskey and wine
The sailors say Brandy, you're a fine girl (you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be
(such a fine girl)
And your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea
Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of the finest silver from the north of Spain
A lockett that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loves
He came on a summer's day
Bringing gifts from far away
But he made it clear, he couldnt stay
No harbour was his home
The sailor said Brandy, you're a fine girl
(you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be
(such a fine girl)
But my life, my love and my lady is the sea
Yeah Brandy used to watch his eyes
As he told his sailors stories
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw its raging glory
Now he had always told the truth
Yeah he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
At night when the bar closes down
Brandy walks through a silent town
She loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
The sailor says Brandy, you're a fine girl
(you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be
(such a fine girl)
But my life, my love and my lady is the sea
Yeah Brandy, you're a fine girl
(you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be
(such a fine girl)
But my life, my love and my lady is the sea
