《Broad Black Brimmer》歌词

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

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

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

[00:00:11] 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

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

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

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

[00:00:24] Sean she said

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

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

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

[00:00:30] Brimmer on my head

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

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

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

[00:00:38] A mountain breeze

[00:00:40] An old trench coat

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

[00:00:43] And breeches almost threadbare

[00:00:45] At the knees

[00:00:47] A Sam Browne belt

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

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

[00:00:53] But not for long

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

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

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

[00:00:59] Brimmer of the IRA

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

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

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

[00:01:10] Homestead on the run

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

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

[00:01:16] As oul Father Mac

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

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

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

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

[00:01:24] Out with the rest

[00:01:25] On the beast

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

[00:01:28] The rugged heather braes

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

[00:01:32] On his breast

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

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

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

[00:01:39] A mountain breeze

[00:01:41] An old trench coat

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

[00:01:44] And breeches almost threadbare

[00:01:46] At the knees

[00:01:48] A Sam Browne belt

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

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

[00:01:54] But not for long

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

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

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

[00:02:00] Brimmer of the IRA
