I grew up in the 70's and love the song"Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)"

(As recorded by Looking Glass)
ELLIOT LURIE

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"

There is a song called Brandy by a group called Lookingglass. I'm not real sure about the spelling of either the title or the band. Sounds like it could be what you're looking for but i don't think it was about a dog. That sounds more like "Me & You and a Dog Named Boo" by a band called Lobo. These songs were released in the same time frame and maybe mom's just a little confused. Happens as we get older. HA!HA! Hope it helps.

I've heard a song called Brandy or Brandi, i think its from the 70's. It sounds like the song is about a pretty girl who is a bartender, and all the sailors are in love with her. Might not be the song your talking about. Maybe your talking about the song called "Mandy", by i think Barry Manilow, thats the one i heard was about a dog.

I think the song you're thinking of is Brandy (you're a fine girl) by Looking Glass. It's not about a dog though. I think you're mom got confused with Mandy by Barry Manilow.
