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) "Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea" (dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
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
The sailor said " 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" (dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes When he told his sailor stories She could feel the ocean foam rise She saw it´s ragin´ glory
But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man And Brandy does her best to understand (dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
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 " 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" (dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
"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"
