Brown Water, Black Beret
(A Song)


(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.
