Reivers - Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) lyrics

rate me

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

Brandy wears a braided chain

From the 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

Bringing gifts from far away

But he made it clear he couldnt 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

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes

As he told his sailor's story

To feel the ocean fall and rise, saw its rage and 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 (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

What a fine girl (what 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, get my check, oh yeah)

(She serves them whiskey)

(I just can't get away from the sea, no, no)
