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 loved


He came on a summer's day 
Bringin' gifts from far away 
And though he made it clear he couldn't stay 
No harbor was his home 


The sailors 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 wife, my lover, my lady is the sea" 
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit) 


Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes 
As he told his sailor stories 
She could feel the ocean fall and rise 
She saw its ragin' glory 
Now 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 
She 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 wife, 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 wife, my lover, my lady is the sea" 
(dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit) 
"Is the sea"
"Is the sea"
