There's a uniform still hanging In what's known as father's room A uniform so simple in its style It has no fancy braid of gold No hat with feathered plume But my mother has preserved it All the while One day, she made me try it on A wish of mine for years In memory of your father Sean, she said When I put the Sam Browne on She was smiling through her tears As she placed the broad black brimmer On my head It's just a broad black brimmer With ribbons frayed and torn From the careless whisk of many a mountain breeze An old trench coat That's so battle-stained and worn And breaches almost thread-bare at the knees A Sam Browne belt with buckle big and strong And a holster that's been empty many a day When men claim Ireland's freedom The one should choose to lead them Will wear the broad black brimmer of the IRA It was the uniform worn by my father years ago When he reached my mother's homestead on the run It was the uniform he wore in that little church below When oul' Father Mac, he blessed the pair as one After truce and treaty and the parting of the ways He wore it when he marched out with the rest When they bore his body down on that rugged heather braes They placed the broad black brimmer on his chest It's just a broad black brimmer With ribbons frayed and torn From the careless whisk of many a mountain breeze An old trench coat That's so battle-stained and worn And breaches almost thread-bare at the knees A Sam Browne belt with buckle big and strong And a holster that's been empty many a day When men claim Ireland's freedom The one should choose to lead them Will wear the broad black brimmer of the IRA
