brandyThere'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 There's a girl in this harbor town And she works laying whiskey down They say Brandy, fetch another round She serves them whisky 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) 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 the man that Brandy loves He came on a summer's day - bearing gifts - from far away But he made it clear he couldn't stay The harbor was his home Brandy, you're a fine girl (you're a fine girl) What a good wife you would be (such a fine girl) Your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea Brandy used to watch his eyes As he told his sailor stories She could feel the ocean fall and rise She saw its 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 slient 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) Your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea |
 And your responses.... Click and type in a question or comment i don't understand the song your rendition of "Brandy" sung on the beach in Florida (at a tournament that i don't remember)was a high-light of my Titanic career. And yes they won after i retired also... But to me you will always be "the crusher" Bubba Mr. Gessner, thanks to the great crew from DPOF you have a new fan. Several of your books are on my Christmas wish list. After reading about your style of writing, I decided I must read your books in whole. The descriptions were great now I need the whole books! I will be adding my name to the preordering list of Osprey lovers, and will be waiting impatiently for your new Osprey saga! a new fan regalaslan14 Love your work and dig the site, but what I'm really craving is another Nina book! Why must we wait so long!? More Nina! -Heather Wormtown is a black humor memoir about my year in my hometown of Worcester, Massachusetts. The year was neatly bisected by my 30th birthday and it was during my birthday week that I was operated on for testicular cancer. I have tried to interest publishers in the book for years but apparently missing testicle stories aren't that popular (except in Lance's case). Could you tell us about your novel "Wormtown"? Thanks Dave: If you ever need inspiration for a title, you may want to consider "one less egg to fry" - which is undoubtedly the single greatest lyric phrase ever written. I was saving it for the title of my own book, but since I'll probably never write one, you can have it. That's what buddies are for...BD Yes, what is your 2006 schedule? Why not come to the Chesapeake Bay to witness the arrival of the osprey? Wish it were more up to date, like aren't you going to be in Virginia in early 2006? I've got it! Combine the "Brandy" theme with Jerry Rafferty's "Baker Street"! Matt Website's okay but it could use a few less cute baby photos and more Brandy. Doesn't Tom Greene sing it near the beginning of Charlie's Angels? That might be a good place to start... Matt, Kumiko, Genki and Jumi Clearly you won the bet! your pal Kargs Gersh - You are clearly the best writer on the planet, by far. Your prose is matched only by the screaming overheads and sick layouts reverberating on fields around the country to this day. Clearly you are still doing your ankle stretches properly. Chuck PS much love as always, to My Miss.H "how many kitties on Hadleys shirt???" xxxxx Aunty J Brandy???? "How long, has this been goin on?" I never would have allowed that in your youth!!!! because, "baby baby don't get hooked on me" but "If I could put time in a bottle, " I would remember , "lonely days, loney night, where would i be?" without your childhood and helping with "memories" so "knock three times" if you ever need me.."just call and I'll be there" "love you like a rock" lol Aunty "J" just becauce u stuck Brandy in My Head, "Someone left a cake out in the rain, I don't think that I can take it, cause it took so long to bake it, and I'll never find that recipe again!" great now that song is stuck in my head for another 20yrs! keep it going, good stuff.. Mr. David Gessner, you are indeed the greatest ultimate player ever to never win the Club Nationals...except for me. Like you I left great teams so they could improve and win without me (Titanic and DC). I even made South Bay that much worse...no surprise (quit laughing). While I did win College and Master Natls, you are still my noble savage idol. Just bought Sick of Nature for me and another ol' crusty vet. Hadley's awesome. P.S. Wasn't it Frac 29 rather than Frac 49? Oh the memories. Just another fine example of the benefits of a Worcester Public Schools education. I would never mock Brandy. DG This better be a Brandy tribute and not a MockBrandy. Is there a better lyric anywhere, "What a good wife you would be?" Plus, it's on the Charlie's Angels soundtrack for a reason. --LeRoi It's au pair, Mom. Not babysitter. Great website! Your babysitter, Kim, looks like a really great kid. I hear she writes, too. Karen S., Aurora, OH Where's the sound clip of the author singing "Brandy?" What posessed you to include the lyrics to Brandy? Not 5 minutes ago, during a phone conversation i was joking about how often the local radio station plays "Brandy." WORC (Wormtown's "Moldy Oldies" station) plays it 2-3 times daily. Its a fine song its just been played to death here. Other than internet radio, WORC is the only radio station I can receive at my shop. So... What is the significance of Brandy? Hear me say... "It's a good site, (its a good site) What a fine site it will be (such a fine site) Maybe it'll give Junger nightmares at sea." Please take this in the lighthearted spirit in which its intended. I'll always check-out links. Thanks for sharing and keep it honest. Ian The Brandy thing just gave me flashbacks of the whole Mrs. Robinson episode. At least here I can edit my comments before I post. -buck Your website is very nice. But don't you think a tribute to your inspiration and hero, Gus would be appropriate? Sincerely, Someone who is not Gus you da money! Where's the porn? I like it very much! -- Susie from Idaho |
