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

There's A uniform that's hanging[00:00:08]

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[00:00:20]

One day she made me try it on[00:00:24]

A wish of mine for years[00:00:26]

In memory of your father Sean she said[00:00:28]

And when I put the Sam Browne on[00:00:32]

She was smiling with the tears[00:00:33]

As she placed the broad black brimmer on my head[00:00:35]

It's just a broad black brimmer[00:00:39]

With it's ribbons frayed and torn[00:00:41]

By the careless whisk of many a mountain breeze[00:00:42]

An old trench coat that's battle stained and worn[00:00:47]

And breeches almost threadbare at the knees[00:00:51]

A Sam Browne belt with a buckle big and strong[00:00:54]

A holster that's been empty many a day but not for long[00:00:58]

And when men claim Ireland's freedom[00:01:02]

The one they'll choose to lead 'em[00:01:04]

Will wear the broad black brimmer of the I R A[00:01:05]

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

When he reached me mother's homestead on the run[00:01:16]

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

In that little church below[00:01:22]

When oul' Father Mac he blessed the pair as one[00:01:24]

And after Truce and Treaty[00:01:28]

And the parting of the ways[00:01:29]

He wore it when he marched out with the rest[00:01:32]

I'm the best[00:01:34]

And when they bore his body[00:01:35]

Down the rugged heather braes[00:01:37]

They placed the broad black[00:01:39]

Brimmer on his breast[00:01:40]

It's just a broad black brimmer[00:01:43]

With it's ribbons frayed and torn[00:01:45]

By the careless whisk of many a mountain breeze[00:01:46]

An old trench coat that's battle stained and worn[00:01:51]

And breeches almost threadbare at the knees[00:01:54]

A Sam Browne belt with a buckle big and strong[00:01:58]

A holster that's been empty[00:02:02]

Many a day but not for long[00:02:04]

And when men claim Ireland's freedom[00:02:06]

The one they'll choose to lead 'em[00:02:08]

Will wear the broad black brimmer of the I R A[00:02:09]

There's a uniform that's hanging[00:02:16]

In what's known as Father's room[00:02:18]

No hat with feathered plumes[00:02:26]

And breeches almost threadbare at the knees[00:02:58]

A Sam Browne belt with a buckle big and strong[00:03:02]

A holster that's been empty many a day but not for long[00:03:06]

And when men claim Ireland's freedom[00:03:09]

The one they'll choose to lead 'em[00:03:12]

Will wear the broad black brimmer of the I R A[00:03:13]
