It's a Long Way to Tipperary - WW1 American Version

"It's a Long Way to Tipperary" is a British music hall song written by Jack Judge and co-credited to Henry James "Harry" Williams.[1] It was allegedly written for a 5-shilling bet in Stalybridge on 30 January 1912 and performed the next night at the local music hall. Now commonly called "It's a Long Way to Tipperary", the original printed music calls it "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary". It became popular among soldiers in the First World War and is remembered as a song of that war. This is the American version of the song, and this video is a tribute to the "Doughboys" - American Soldiers who fought in the Great War.

@Dan Gurău Man, that really is a lot of stuff. Probably one of the reasons why it was so brutal was because the opposing sides wanted to get on with the war, as it was normally a stalemate. So they thought up brutal and horrifying ways to make the enemy retreat.

[@glenvalley4326]

Frank Patterson(1938-2000) a Irish tenor who spent much of his life in America.

here is my version It's a long way to New York City It's a long way to go It's a long way to New York City To the sweetest girl I know Goodbye San Francisco Farewell Golden Gate It's a long long way to New York City But my heart's right there

Best version by far. Most of the guys in these pictures probably died. Sad to think about.

instead of an irish lad it should have been a jersey boy. And it should of been its a long way to atlantic city. Because new York and new jersey have a similar relationship as Ireland and britain. Even though they are rivals they often mention one another in their pop culture.

weve got war but were all goin to tipperary lads R.I.P. for the mates who died

The jollier version of the original

Tell me brigder do you like the seaside?

[@killerkitten7534]

It’s kind of interesting when you consider the perspective change between this and the Irish version. The Irish version is singing about Tipperary as it’s a symbol of their homeland, and they miss it due to being in other countries taking the fight to the enemy. Meanwhile Americans sing of Tipperary as a place long from home, that although to my knowledge none of them would ever go there, it was a symbol of the distance they were traveling, and how far from home they also felt

This sounds like "it's a long way to mukumbura"

[@i-dislike-handles]

Yup, that was a variation of this song that was popular among Rhodesians during the Bush War.

F for all who died in combat, but did not want war
