(Chorus)
Brown Water, Black
Beret.
We wouldn't have it any other way.
Men who fight by night
or day,
defending freedom, come what may.
On the rivers of the
world,
or coastal shores or bay,
Our privalege is
serving.
Brown Water, Black Beret.
(Verses)
The Black Beret, so
proudly
worn, It is a badge of pride.
It's worn by men of
courage,
standing side by side.
Doing a job that must be
done
for those who do not care,
It's a burden that we
cherish.
It's our honor that we wear.
The Brown Water
flowing swiftly,
this is where we belong.
It is the element that
we love.
It fills our hearts with song.
It makes no difference,
fresh
or salt, if mixed up with the mud.
It's knowing that many
before
us have mixed it with their blood.
We gladly go where we
are called,
to lend help to those oppressed
Only asking for their
freedom,
and that their land be blessed.
Giving all, if only
asked, wherever
Brown Water may flow,
With pride, and courage,
and
honor, Black Berets will surly go.
