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
