|
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 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 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 |
|
Bringing 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 raging 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 bar's 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" |
