The Broad Black Brimmer - Brier/Cormac O'Moore[00:00:00]

There's a uniform that's hanging[00:00:05]

In what's known as Father's room[00:00:07]

A uniform so simple in it's style[00:00:09]

It has no braid of gold or silk[00:00:13]

No hat with feathered plumes[00:00:15]

Yet Mother has preserved it all the while[00:00:17]

One day she made me try it on[00:00:21]

A wish of mine for years[00:00:23]

"In memory of your father Sean" she said [00:00:25]

And when I put the Sam Browne on[00:00:29]

She was smiling with the tears[00:00:31]

As she placed the broad black brimmer on my head [00:00:33]

It's just a broad black brimmer[00:00:37]

With its ribbons frayed and torn[00:00:39]

By the careless whisk of many a mountain breeze[00:00:41]

An old trench coat that's battle stained and worn[00:00:45]

And breeches almost threadbare at the knees[00:00:49]

A Sam Browne belt with a buckle big and strong[00:00:53]

A holster that's been empty many a day[00:00:57]

And when men claim Ireland's freedom[00:01:01]

The one they'll choose to lead 'em[00:01:03]

Will wear the broad black brimmer of the IRA[00:01:05]

It was the uniform been worn by my father years ago[00:01:12]

When he reached me mother's homestead on the run[00:01:17]

It was the uniform me father wore[00:01:20]

In that little church below[00:01:23]

When oul' Father Mac he blessed the pair as one[00:01:25]

And after Truce and Treaty and the parting of the ways[00:01:28]

He wore it when he marched out with the rest[00:01:33]

And when they bore his body down the rugged heather braes[00:01:37]

They placed the broad black brimmer on his breast[00:01:41]

It's just a broad black brimmer[00:01:45]

With its ribbons frayed and torn[00:01:47]

By the careless whisk of many a mountain breeze[00:01:49]

An old trench coat that's battle stained and worn[00:01:53]

And breeches almost threadbare at the knees[00:01:57]

A Sam Browne belt with a buckle big and strong[00:02:01]

A holster that's been empty many a day[00:02:05]

And when men claim Ireland's freedom[00:02:09]

The one they'll choose to lead 'em[00:02:11]

Will wear the broad black brimmer of the IRA[00:02:13]

When men claim Ireland's freedom the one who'll choose[00:02:18]

To lead them[00:02:21]

Will wear the broad black brimmer of the IRA[00:02:22]
