The Broad Black Brimmer - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]

There's a uniform that's hanging[00:00:09]

In what's known as Father's room[00:00:11]

A uniform so simple in it's style[00:00:13]

It has no braid of gold or silk[00:00:16]

No hat with feathered plumes[00:00:18]

Yet Mother has preserved it all the while[00:00:19]

One day she made me try it on[00:00:23]

A wish of mine for years[00:00:25]

"In memory of your father Sean" she said [00:00:26]

And when I put the Sam Browne on[00:00:30]

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[00:00:36]

With its ribbons frayed and torn[00:00:38]

By the careless whisk of many a mountain breeze[00:00:40]

An old trench coat that's battle stained and worn[00:00:43]

And breeches almost threadbare at the knees[00:00:47]

A Sam Browne belt with a buckle big and strong[00:00:51]

A holster that's been empty many a day but not for long [00:00:54]

And when men claim Ireland's freedom[00:00:58]

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

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

It was the uniform been worn by my father years ago[00:01:07]

When he reached me mother's homestead on the run[00:01:11]

It was the uniform me father wore[00:01:14]

In that little church below[00:01:16]

When oul' Father Mac he blessed the pair as one[00:01:18]

And after Truce and Treaty and the parting of the ways[00:01:22]

He wore it when he marched out with the rest[00:01:25]

And when they bore his body down the rugged heather braes[00:01:28]

They placed the broad black brimmer on his breast[00:01:32]

It's just a broad black brimmer[00:01:35]

With its ribbons frayed and torn[00:01:37]

By the careless whisk of many a mountain breeze[00:01:39]

An old trench coat that's battle stained and worn[00:01:43]

And breeches almost threadbare at the knees[00:01:46]

A Sam Browne belt with a buckle big and strong[00:01:50]

A holster that's been empty many a day but not for long [00:01:53]

And when men claim Ireland's freedom[00:01:57]

The one they'll choose to lead 'em[00:01:59]

Will wear the broad black brimmer of the IRA[00:02:01]
