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 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 sailors say, Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my love, my lover, my lady is the sea Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes When he told his sailors' story She could feel the ocean falling right 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 bars close down Brandy walks through a silent town And loves a man who's not around She still can't hear him say She hears him say, Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my love, my lover, my lady is the sea Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my love, my lover, my lady is the sea
