Brandy (you're A Fine Girl) Lyrics - Singles - Looking Glass

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 

[Chorus] 

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) 

"Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea" 

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 

Bringin' gifts from far away 

But he made it clear he couldn't stay 

No harbor was his home 

[Chorus] 

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" 

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes 

When he told his sailor stories 

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 

And Brandy does her best to understand 

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'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" 

"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"
