My grandma started to sing the other day this song, and it surprised me because where we live it's strange to see a grandma singing in ENGLISH, so I asked her how she knew that song, and she told me that in the Civil War went to London to live just one year and she used to listen it in the radio, so I decided to find the song. When I got it, I showed her and she started to sing with tears in her eyes. Thank you for posting the song, you made happy my grandma :)
war was hell. the positive and enthusiastic views of this war at the beginning changed to something else pretty soon. My heart goes with those 19,240 brave British soldiers that died at the first day of this battle. I don't kow the exact number of german soldiers but they lost 8000 casualties.Casualties were awful. Germans lost an entire generation in this war. I recommend anyone to read All quiet on the western front. Never Again

Thank you for posting this. To any Briton,and those from the Commonwealth, with a sense of history, this is just so poignant. With the passing of the last 'Tommy' this week a generation worthy of the greatest respect for their sacrifice and fortitude has gone forever.
+Zac Alizada I *don't* mean to be offensive, but back in the 1910s, the Central Powers started the war so that's why I said that God would bless the Allied soldiers only. Of course, many European countries are now at peace, they have forgiven one another but they can't forget whatever happened. It's nice to know you're a teen as well.
+Mabel Ƥιηєѕ Actually nope, first world war began with assassination of Franz Ferdinand right? The killer was Serbian(maybe with a hand of Russia) so technically Serbia started war.And WW2 began coz of WW1 (Treaty of Versailles).All responsible for this wars was Serbia. And your opinion, why blame those dudes? They were people too, all they wanted is the protecting their countries and go back home.Politicians usually the reason the wars began and many innocent lives(soldiers,civilians) dying for no reason. P.S.I'm Azerbaijani and our country did not participated in WW1.We had our own problems(Armenians) and we were neutral.But Ottomans were our allies so, technically we were on the side of Central powers.
+Zac Alizada Well, you do have a good point, apparently I'm aware Serbia started the war but it's odd to think that she was on the side of the Allies. Yes, war is horrible and it just caused both soldiers and innocent civilians to die. I'm from Singapore (Southeast Asia) btw.
It is interesting that this Commonwealth song is still played at special occasions, such as Remembrance Day Dinners. I live in Canada, and when I went to a Remembrance Day dinner in early November, the piper played this song when the Brigadier General walked in the room. God Bless Canada, and God Save the Queen!
G'day Triplesod, here's a bit more info: Easily one of the most popular anthems sung by soldiers on the way to the Western Front during the early enthusiasm of summer 1914, the song was written by Jack Judge and Harry Williams some two years earlier in 1912. Three song versions were recorded; the first was recorded by John McCormack in 1914. The second was recorded by the American Quartet with Billy Murray, also in 1914. The third was recorded January 1915 by Albert Farrington. cheers
Cheers Stella! Yeah, I know how popular it was during the Great War but I didn't know how old it was or when it was first put on wax. Thanks for your reply.
I whistle this song while i'm on a public toilet.I'm 14 years old and i love listening war songs and marches. EDIT: Well, that was awkward thing to say, although i grew up since the tine i wrote this comment and apologize with all the "Mah gunureshyn sux lets go bek to oldern era" type comments.
Up to mighty London came An Irish man one day, All the streets were paved with gold, So everyone was gay! Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand, and Leicester Square, 'Til Paddy got excited and He shouted to them there: It's a long way to Tipperary, It's a long way to go. It's a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know! Goodbye Piccadilly, Farewell Leicester Square! It's a long long way to Tipperary, But my heart's right there. Paddy wrote a letter To his Irish Molly O', Saying, "Should you not receive it, Write and let me know! If I make mistakes in "spelling", Molly dear", said he, "Remember it's the pen, that's bad, Don't lay the blame on me". It's a long way to Tipperary, It's a long way to go. It's a long way to Tipperary To the sweetest girl I know!…
@Paggy56447 Hi Paggy, 'poignant' (pronounced 'poyniant') means that it brings feelings of emotion,painful in this case, as we remember the terrible losses among the soldiers (60,000 British casualties in one day on the Somme) who sung songs like this as they went off to the trenches and their deaths. This song was picked up and also sung by German troops in both wars.
I have an original 78 of this version. Mine shows its age a bit, and the harmonies are faded. I assume that the original charcoal recording mike would have struggled with them, and that this version has been improved. Or perhaps this was re-recorded after the introduction of electric mikes in the mid 20s, but the artist's voice does not seem to have aged. The record came out about July 1914, was a hit, and was sung in the music halls, innocent of all connotation of war. The soldiers would have taken it with them from August 1914 on. It's good to march to; always was. Later versions took on a militaristic tone, which degraded the sunny innocence of the original, I think. Squaddies rarely sing bombstic or patriotic songs. That is for civilians. Thanks for posting.
Canada was sovereign territory of Great Britain so it was their duty to serve when called up to war. Canada didn't fully become independent until 1982.
Je suis le seul français a trouvé cette musique vraiment magnifique ? ^^ A noté que les chant des deux grande guerre coté occidentale sont vraiment beau ^^
You're right about their losses, but that's attributed mostly to their tactics. They didn't have enough weapons or supplies, gave them little to no training and they just sent their people in without a care if they survived. They had enough bodies to do that, so the tactics worked in the end, but not without great losses.
The horror and the stench in the trenches,the mud and the unbearable noise, the despair, the bloodshed, the mourn and weep of hundred of thousands of mothers, wives, sisters, girlfriends, as well as fathers, and younger brothers, the ones who came back home, some mentally mutilated, many physically and mentally severed, with burnt lungs for the rest of their lives due to poisonous gas, and millions who went and never returned from France and Belgium. Listening to this, my heart shrinks.
Hi! My great-uncles were non-nobles from Britain, I believe two of the three died late in 1918. One for certain in France. We may have ancestors on different sides but bless all the war dead.
their equipment was identical actually, the only difference was that since Canada is a commonwealth nation and the had to wear a tab on their shoulder that said "Canada" it was usually red with white letters.
100th anniversary of the Great War this year...it shaped the modern world in so many ways...even this song is indicative of that. The soldiers weren't singing about honour or glory, they just wanted to go home.
my great uncle owned a farm called tipparary road when i was a baby he used to ride in a horse and buggy with my dad and grandfather and me to go milk the cows and he would sing this song all the way there!!
This is also the fight song for the University of Missouri (Chorus) Every True Son Every true son, so happy hearted, Skies above us are blue, There's a spirit so deep within us, Old Missouri here's to you (rah rah!); When the band plays the Tiger war song, And when the fray is through, We will tramp, tramp, tramp, around the columns, With a cheer, for Old Mizzou!
tobythesuperfasttram So is the music of the Rolling Stones and MC Hammer. By your logic, as long as the music is available on record or vinyl it should be in fallout 4

Nice one Stella, that's very interesting. Thanks for sharing your info! I'm surprised it is as young as it is to be honest. I thought it would have been sung at least as early as the Zulu wars or Crimea.
One part lots of people forget is that in both WWI and WWII, the USA was the financier and supplier for both soviet and allied forces. While we here in the USA didn't contribute nearly as much man power, we contributed money and resources that let the soviets move their tank factories and both sides keep the bellies of their troops full. Everyone had their part to play and no single nation was a complete turning point.
After WWI when the Ottoman Empire was split up into many nations the territories were broken up in such a way that rivial groups were forced to share a country, the same thing happened when england and france broke up their African colonies. The way the middle east was broken up set the stage for the tensions that are seen today and everything that happened in the '80s and '90s.
Today is 100 years to the day since the song was first performed. It was written by Jack Judge of Stalybridge to win a bet that he couldn't compose and sing a song within 24 hours. (Stalybridge is a long way from Tipperary - 264 miles to be precise!)
I dont think Jack Judge ever thought his little music hall ditty would ever become so famous when he wrote it in 1912. He was British but his grandparents were Irish (no prizes for guessing where exactly in Ireland they came from!)
One of the reasons that so many men died needlessly in WW1 was because the soldiers in the armies still thought you had to charge at your opponent. Unfortunately the technology and weapons the soldiers were using was way to advanced for this kind of warfare. That's is why so many men died.
My grandma started to sing the other day this song, and it surprised me because where we live it's strange to see a grandma singing in ENGLISH, so I asked her how she knew that song, and she told me that in the Civil War went to London to live just one year and she used to listen it in the radio, so I decided to find the song.

Definitely not a long way then. In fact,there's no way since you're already in the village. :D
Haha, well Tipperary is a county, I'm not in Tipperary Town.
bleddyuffles I thought it was a village. I read up about the song on Wikipedia.
it was this date. 1967. i was 15. it was cold...we didnt know much. but we knew of the situation. may god have mercy on all those forgotten souls.
I've been trying to find this for ages, thanks very much for posting :) Songs like this help us remember.

Reminds me of U-boats... 30,000 out of 40,000 men in the service died in WW2.. If I had to go on eternal patrol with 1 song, I would choose this one.
