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 the 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 foam rise, she saw its 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 lover, my lady is the sea
Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea
Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea
Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea ...
