Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)

Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) (Rerecorded Version) - 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

The sailors say brandy you're a fine girl

What a good wife you would be

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

The sailor said brandy you're a fine girl

What a good wife you would be

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

She hears him say brandy you're a fine girl

What a good wife you would be

But my life my lover my lady is the sea

Brandy you're a fine girl

What a good wife you would be

But my life my lover my lady is the sea
