There's a port
on a western bay
and it serves
a hundred ships a day
lonely 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
what a good wife
you would be
Yeah your eyes
could steal a sailor
from the sea"
Brandy
wears a braided chain
made of finest silver
from the North of Spain
A locket
that bears the name
of a man
that Brandy loves
He came
on a summer's day
bringin' gifts
from far away
but he made it clear
he couldn't stay
No harbour was his home
the sailors say "Brandy
you're a fine girl
what a good wife
you would be
But my life
my love and my lady
is the sea"
Yeah Brandy used
to watch his eyes
when he told
his sailor story
She could feel
the ocean fall and rise
She saw his ragin' glory
But he had always
told the truth
Lord he was
an honest man
And Brandy
does her best
to understand
At night
when the bars
close down
Brandy walks
through a silent town
and loves a man
who's not around
she still can hear him say
She hears him say
"Brandy you're a fine girl
what a good wife
you would be
But my life
my love and my lady
is the sea"
Yeah, yeah
See I said "Brandy
you're a fine girl
what a good wife
you would be
But my life
my love and my lady
is the sea"
