brandy....you're a fine girl!!

Looking Glass (1972)

I'm new at this hike-chat thing. It looks like a lot of fun. Just got back from the Zaleski hike. It was a blast! I made some new friends and met some interesting people.

Dang YO! I gotta get me a theme song for myself! Anyone got dibs on Disco Duck?

Welcome Brandy. It's always good to have new people to remind us there is a wold outside of Trail Talk. Are you from Ohio?

RE: brandy....you're a fine girl!!
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 harbour 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 loves

He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbour 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"
(Dooda-dit-dooda)
(Dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)

Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean foam rise
She saw its 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 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 life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

There's a cafe western Ohio way
And it serves a hundred diners a day
Lonely old guys pass the time away
And talk about their ex's....

And there's a girl in that Urbana town
And she works layin' burgers down
They say "Brandy, fetch another round"
She serves them burgers and fries....

The geezers say "Brandy, you're a fine girl....
What a good wife you would be....
But my life, my lover, my lady is the meat...."

welcome brandy, and LOL at "my lady is the meat". With a gift for parody such as that, you'll be a welcome addition to the TT fray.
