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 laying 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 finer silver from the north of
Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of a man that
Brandy loved
He came on a summer's day,
bringing gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay,
no harbor was his home
The sailor said, bring me,
you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my lover, my lady, is the sea
Yeah,
Brandon used to watch his eyes
when he told his sailor's story
She could feel the ocean fall and rise,
she saw its rage and glory
But he had always told the truth,
but he was an honest man
And
Brandy does her best to understand
At night,
when the bar's closed 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 same
Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my love and my lady
Is the same
you
