And when I put the Sam Browne on she was smiling with the tears As she placed the broad black brimmer on my head. Chorus: It's just a broad black brimmer With its ribbons frayed and torn By the careless whisk of many a mountain breeze An old trench coat that's battle stained and worn And breeches almost threadbare at the knees A Sam Browne belt, with a buckle big and strong A holster that's been empty many a day... but not for long! And when men claim Ireland's freedom The one they'll choose to lead 'em Will wear the broad black brimmer of the IRA It was the uniform been worn by my father years ago When he reached me mother's homestead on the run It was the uniform me father wore in that little church below When oul' Father Mac he blessed the pair as one And after Truce and Treaty and the parting of the ways He wore it when he marched out with the rest And when they bore his body down the rugged heather braes They placed the broad black brimmer on his breast Related Lyrics Random lyrics: THE BOLD BLACK AND TAN, THE BOLD FENIAN MEN, THE BOLD ODONOHUE, THE BOYS FROM THE COUNTY ARMAGH, THE BOYS FROM THE COUNTY CORK, THE BOYS FROM THE COUNTY MAYO, THE BOYS OF KILLYBEGS, THE CLIFFS OF DONEEN, THE CRACK WAS NINETY IN THE ISLE OF MAN, THE CREGGAN WHITE HARE, THE CROPPY BOY, THE CURRAGH OF KILDARE, Black Velvet Band, Bodenstown Churchyard, Bridget Flynn, Drunken Sailor, Fiddlers Green, Goodbye Mrs Durkin, GRANDMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER, Hiring Fair, The First Love In Life, The Orange And The Green, The Scottsman, The Unicorn, Wasnt That A Party, Years May Come Years May Go, Det Kommer En Gryning, Precis Som Du, Aa Aa Allin Lasta, Precis Som Du, Stureplan, Wish Someone Would Care, Beauty and Family, Beneath The Balcony, Bird Stealing Bread, Cinder And Smoke, Each Coming Night, Fever Dream, Free Until They Cut Me Down, Love And Some Verses, Naked As We Came, On Your Wings, Passing Afternoon, Radio War, Sodom, South Georgia, Such Great Heights, Sunset Soon Forgotten, Teeth in the Grass, The Trapeze Swinger, Upward Over The Mountain, Other Irish Folksongs song Lyrics A BUNCH OF THYME Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Little Bit Of Heaven Lyrics A Man You Dont Meet Every Day Lyrics A Mothers Love Is A Blessing Lyrics A Muirsheen Durkin Lyrics A Nation Once Again Lyrics A NIGHT TO REMEMBER Lyrics A Pair Of Brown Eyes Lyrics A Rainy Night In Soho Lyrics A Soldiers Song Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Irish Rovers Lyrics Irma Schultz Lyrics Irma Tapio Lyrics Irma Thomas Lyrics Iron And Wine Lyrics IRON BUTTERFLY Lyrics Iron Fire Lyrics Iron Maiden Lyrics Iron Rain Lyrics Iron Savior Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
