《The Broad Black Brimmer》歌词

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:20] Yet Mother has preserved it all the while

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:40] Brimmer on his breast

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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