Brandy (Live in Hyde Park)

Lyrics

[Intro] Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo [Verse 1] Yeah, there's a port on a western bay And it serves a hundred ships a day And though the 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 [Chorus] The sailors say, "Brandy, you're a fine..." (You're a fine girl) "What a good wife you would be" (Such a fine girl) "And your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea" [Interlude] Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo [Verse 2] And 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 Bringing gifts from far away And though he made it clear he couldn't stay No harbor was his home [Chorush] The sailor said "Brandy, you're a fine..." (You're a fine girl) "What a good wife you would be" (Such a fine girl) "But your eyes–, my lover, my lady is the sea" [Interlude] Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, ah [Bridge] Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes As he told the sailor story She could feel the ocean foam rise As she saw its raging glory Now, he had always told the truth Lord, he was an honest man And Brandy does her best to understand (Ah-ah) [Interlude] Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo [Verse 3] At night when the bars close down And Brandy walks through a silent town She loves a man who's not around She still can hear him say [Chorus] She hears him say, "Brandy, you're a fine..." (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" [Interlude] Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo [Chorus] "Yeah, Brandy, you're a fine..." (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" [Outro] Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo Is the sea Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo Is the sea Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo Doo-doo, ooh, ooh, ooh [Spoken: Flea] You see, whenever we play that song Now, I feel like we start all over again Real fresh, real envigorated Cleaned our slate and we're ready to go
