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 layin' whiskey down
They say Brandy fetch another round
She serves them whiskey and wine

The sailors say Brandy you're a fine girl (you’re a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl)
Your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea (do,do )

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 sailors say Brandy you're a fine girl (you’re a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl)
But my life my lover my lady is the sea (do,do )

Yeah Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor's stories
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw it's raging glory
But he had always told the truth
Lord he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand (do,do )

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 she hears him say

She hears him say Brandy you're a fine girl (you’re a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl)
But my life my lover my lady is the sea (do,do )
Say Brandy you're a fine girl (you’re a fine girl)
What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl)
But my life my lover my lady is the sea (do,do )
