Brandy

There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And they talk about their homes

There's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say: Brandy, fetch another round
Then she serves them whiskey and wine

The sailors say
Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
And your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea

Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
She's got a locket and it bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loves

And he came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from a-far away
But he made it clear that he couldn't stay
'Cause 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, my lady is the sea

At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
And she still can hear him say

She hears him say
Brandy, you're a fine girl
What a good wife you would be
But my life, my love, my lady is the sea
