lirik lagu the barleycorn - broad black brimmer

[verse 1]
there’s a uniform that’s hanging in what’s known as father’s room
a uniform so simple in its style
well, it has no classy feathers or no hat with feathered plume
me mother has preserved it all the while
one day she made me put it on, a wish of mine for years
“in memory of your father, sean”, she said
and as she bore the sam browne on
she was smiling through her tears
as she placed the broad black brimmer on me head

[chorus]
it’s just a broad black brimmеr
its ribbons frayed and torn
by the carelеss whisk of many’s a mountain breeze
an old trench coat that’s all battle~stained and worn
and britches that are threadbare at the knees
a sam browne belt, its buckles big and strong
and a holster that’s been empty many’s the day
(but not for long!)
and when men claim ireland’s freedom
the one to choose to lead them
will wear the broad black brimmer of the i.r.a

[verse 2]
this uniform was worn by me fathers years ago
when he reached me mother’s homestead on the run
and the same one monday morning in that little church below
when father mac, he blessed them just as one
and after truce and treaty and the parting of the ways
he wore it as he marched out with the rest
and as they bore his body down the rugged heather blade
they placed the broad black brimmer on his chest
[chorus]
it’s just a broad black brimmer
its ribbons frayed and torn
by the careless whisk of many’s a mountain breeze
an old trench coat that’s so battle~stained and worn
and breitches threadbare at the knees
a sam browne belt with its buckles big and strong
and a holster that’s been empty many’s a day
(but not for long!)
and when men claim ireland’s freedom
ah, the one they’ll choose to lead them
will wear the broad black brimmer of the i.r.a
