Albert Farrington - A Long Way To Tipperary
A Long Way to Tipperary, as sung by Albert Farrington. I thought I'd upload it as I could not this version on youtube and thought it should be shared with the world, as in my opinion I feel it is superior to the version as sung by John McCormack. THe picture is just basically so you're not staring at a black screen the whole time.
Lyrics:
Up to mighty London
Came an Irishman one day
As the streets are paved with gold
Sure, everyone was gay
Singing songs of Piccadilly,
Strand and Leicester Square
Till 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!
Goodbye Piccadilly,
Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary,
But my heart's right there.
Molly wrote a neat reply
To Irish Paddy-O
Saying Mike Maloney
Wants to marry me and so
Leave the Strand and Picadilly
Or you'll be to blame
For love has fairly drove me silly:
Hoping you're the same!
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.

It's A Long Way To Tipperary
It's A Long Way To Tipperary
It's a Long Way to Tipperary ist ein Lied der Marschmusik, das am 31. Januar 1912 von Jack Judge geschrieben wurde. Als eines der Lieblingslieder der britischen Soldaten wurde es im Ersten Weltkrieg weltweit bekannt und gehört heute zum Standardrepertoire vieler Militärkapellen.
Der Refrain lautet:
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.
Eine Bedeutung hat das Lied in dem Wolfgang-Petersen-Film „Das Boot" nach dem Roman von Lothar-Günther Buchheim; es wird damit eine unterschwellige anti-nationalsozialistische Haltung des U-Boot-Kommandanten und der Besatzung zum Ausdruck gebracht.
„It's a Long Way to Tipperary" wurde außerdem vom Bordorchester des britischen Luxusliners Lusitania zu dem Zeitpunkt gespielt, als dieser am 7. Mai 1915 während des Mittagessens vom Torpedo eines deutschen U-Boots getroffen wurde. Das Orchester spielte weiter, um eine Panik zu vermeiden.
Auch die im Wasser treibenden Überlebenden des in der Skagerrak-Schlacht versenkten Flottillenführers HMS Tipperary sollen dieses Stück gesungen haben, um sich Mut zu machen oder einander zu finden.
