Brandy
One of my favourite songs from my younger days is 'Brandy'(One of my other faves was 'Wildfire' -- it's all about the angst!). I guess I've always had a thing for sea captains [g] I want to find a copy of it somewhere, since I haven't heard it for ages, so went looking around the web and come to find Kenny Chesney has covered it. I thought I had all his CDs, but I must be missing one, because I've never heard his version. And apparently, Red Hot Chili Peppers did it too, but I wouldn't know anything about that!
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, laying 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 a man that Brandy loved
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
The sailors 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's story
She could feel the ocean fall and rise, she saw it's raging 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"

By the way, the colours for the reply box are unreadable. I have to go back and select everything to check on what I've typed.

Yes, that's the one I'm looking for a copy of. Turns out a coworker has it on CD and is going to double check the title (it's some sort of compilation CD) so I can get it.

My copy is on a set called Twenty Five Hits. Part of a boxed set I cot a few years ago.

I'd love to hear Kenny Chesney's version.
