Brandy, You're a Fine Girl Lyrics

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 harbor 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 harbor was his home



The sailor said "Brandy, you're a fine girl

What a good wife you would be

But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"



Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes

When he told his sailor stories

She could feel the ocean fall and rise

She saw its rage and 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

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 lover, my lady is the sea"



"Yeah, Brandy, you're a fine girl

What a good wife you would be

But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
