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”

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

    4. You too my friend, many blessings to you and may your day be filled with happiness, love and so much joy. Your music has been a blessing to me more than usual inspiring many poems. I thank you for that gift. I wish your day to be full of love. 🤗💕❤️💖😘🙏Joni

  2. This is a great old song. I like the lyrics they are really cleaver. I like the line “you could steal a sailor from the sea” great line! What a blast from the past my friend. Thank you as always for the memories. Hope you are having an outstanding day my friend. I can’t send you coffee cups because I am on the reader but just think I am sending you your own band to entertain you all night with every song you want them to play, so you have to have some good java to stay up all night. Have a great time dancing all around your house with the band. Love Joni

    2. I know right what is wrong with them anyway. Seriously I get a kick out of looking at the old videos, clothing, hair, etc. Your right he does have a smooth sound. ❤️🤗☕️☕️☕️☕️🎊🎉 Have a party my friend. Love 💕 Joni

    3. The beach feel that the song gives is a serious reflection. He is torn … which is so understandable. I would be a stowaway for him!Thanks for sharing this song memory, Joni . I do hope your Monday is going smoothly and bring forth the best of smiles and relaxation! I am partying with a coconut caramel chocolate latte! 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈👌🌺💕💕🌺

    4. “a coconut caramel chocolate latte! “ oh boy does that sound wonderful. Yum yum. Your so cute a “stowaway for him” that sounds like it needs to be a poem. Hugs my friend, you will be hopping around like the bunnies in our yard after drinking that yummy drink. Hugs my dear friend. Joni

    5. LOL! What a hopping treat Joni! Stowaway yes, because “ the sailor said Brandy your a fine girl, what a good wife you would be, but [his] life, his lover and his lady, is the sea. 🎼What a man. Look out out pirates… 🥀🍃🌺🎈💫☀️I not a bouncing bunny yet!🙃

  4. A great song. Unfortunately, I think they were kind of a one-hit-wonder. I am not aware of any other song by Looking Glass that I have listened to. Are they out there?
