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

What's known as Father's room[00:00:03]

A uniform so simple in it's style[00:00:06]

It has no braid of gold or silk[00:00:11]

No hat with feathered plumes[00:00:13]

Yet Mother has preserved it all the while[00:00:15]

One day she made me try it on[00:00:18]

A wish of mine for years[00:00:20]

In memory of your father [00:00:22]

Sean she said [00:00:24]

And when I put the Sam Browne on[00:00:26]

She was smiling with the tears[00:00:27]

As she placed the broad black[00:00:29]

Brimmer on my head [00:00:30]

It's just a broad black brimmer[00:00:32]

With it's ribbons frayed and torn[00:00:34]

By the careless whisk of many[00:00:36]

A mountain breeze[00:00:38]

An old trench coat[00:00:40]

That's battle stained and worn[00:00:41]

And breeches almost threadbare[00:00:43]

At the knees[00:00:45]

A Sam Browne belt [00:00:47]

With a buckle big and strong[00:00:49]

A holster that's been empty many a day[00:00:51]

But not for long [00:00:53]

And when men claim Ireland's freedom[00:00:54]

The one they'll choose to lead them[00:00:56]

Will wear the broad black[00:00:57]

Brimmer of the IRA[00:00:59]

It was the uniform been worn[00:01:05]

By me father long ago[00:01:06]

As he reached me mother's[00:01:08]

Homestead on the run[00:01:10]

It's uniform me father wore[00:01:12]

In that little church below[00:01:14]

As oul Father Mac[00:01:16]

He blessed the pair as one[00:01:17]

And after Truce and Treaty[00:01:19]

And the parting of the ways[00:01:21]

He wore it when he marched[00:01:23]

Out with the rest[00:01:24]

On the beast[00:01:25]

And say bore his body down[00:01:26]

The rugged heather braes[00:01:28]

They placed the broad black brimmer[00:01:30]

On his breast[00:01:32]

It's just a broad black brimmer[00:01:33]

With it's ribbons frayed and torn[00:01:35]

By the careless whisk of many[00:01:37]

A mountain breeze[00:01:39]

An old trench coat[00:01:41]

That's battle stained and worn[00:01:42]

And breeches almost threadbare[00:01:44]

At the knees[00:01:46]

A Sam Browne belt [00:01:48]

With a buckle big and strong[00:01:50]

A holster that's been empty many a day[00:01:51]

But not for long [00:01:54]

And when men claim Ireland's freedom[00:01:55]

The one they'll choose to lead them[00:01:57]

Will wear the broad black[00:01:58]

Brimmer of the IRA[00:02:00]
