There's a port on a western bay
Cnd it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
Cnd talk about their homes
Cnd there's a girl in this harbor town
Cnd 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)
""Yeah, your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea""
Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
C locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loved
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 sailors say, ""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 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 ragin' glory
But he had always told the truth, Lord, he was an honest man
Cnd Brandy does her best to understand
Ct night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
Cnd loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say, ""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 lover, my lady is the sea""
