Lyrics Looking Glass – Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl)

Text:

(Dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda)

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 a 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 love and 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’s story
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
When she saw his 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 love and 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 love and my lady is the sea»
