Verse 1
There's a port, on a western bay, and it serves, a hun-dred ships a day
Lonely sai-lors, pass the time a-way, and talk about their homes
And there's a girl, in this harbor town, and she works, layin' whiskey down
They say Brandy, fetch a-nother round, she serves them whiskey and wine
Chorus
The sailors say Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be
-6
Your eyes could steal a sailor, from the sea
Verse 2
Brandy, wears a braided chain, made of the finest silver from the north of Spain
A lock-et, that bears the name, of a man that Brandy loved
He came, on a summer's day, bringin' gifts, from far a-way
But he made it clear, he couldn't stay, no har-bor was his home
Chorus
The sailor said Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be
-6
But my life, my love and my lady is the sea
Bridge
Yea Brandy used to watch his eyes when he told his sailor's story
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
-6
And Brandy does her best to under-stand
Verse 3
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
Chorus
She hears him say Brandy, you've a fine girl (you're a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be, but my life, my love and my lady is the sea
