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
