Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works laying whiskey down
They say, "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them whiskey and wine
[PreChorus]
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"
[Verse 3]
Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the north of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of a man that Brandy loved
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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"
Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor story
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw its raging glory
But he had always told the truth
Lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
[Verse 5]
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"
It is (It is)
Yes, it is (Yes, it is)
[Verse 6]
He 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"
It is (It is)
Yes, it is
