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 said, Brandy, fetch another round She serves them whiskey and wine The sailor said, 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 love and my lady is the sea Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes When he told his sailor stories She could feel the ocean form rise She saw its raging glory But he had always told the truth That 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 The sailor said, Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my life, my love and my lady is the sea The sailor said, Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my life, my love and my lady is the sea *
