Delightful chunk of history! This was recorded twice in 1914 (John McCormack & Billy Murray) and by Albert Farrington in 1915. Thank you for remembering the soldiers of the Great War.
Many young British soldiers marched off to war singing this song. I can't help but think of this every time I hear this song. Nice version, rare to see anyone attempt to play this song.
Now I'm practicing Japanese songs and Appenzeller Yodel.
You got a guitar? Sounds good! It's very fun to play guitar. I also bought a new guitar, and am retrying F and Bm chords form... I can play the chords better day by day.
This song is full of humor. I like the lyrics. Lovely.
By the way German pronunciation is so cool! But it's difficult for me to pronounce rightly. And Long spelling words are difficult to read. I love German. I'll keep listening German songs.
Well, you know, WW1 took place 90 years ago and even the german soldiers sang that song in these days. So, why care about that? War is always the wrong way to "solve" a problem.
If you like Prinzen, try to get a copy of the a capella versions of "Kuessen Verboten" and "Das Leben ist grausam". These albums are great.
"The Clancy Brothers" - you should learn some of their songs, theyre the best irish group ive come accross, but if you like solo's, then Christy moore is a good one, i used to serve him pints in the pub where i worked in dublin
Yep, it was sung by the soldiers of Britain marching off to war, bear in mind this was when everyone thought war was 'exciting' so, yeah. I love this song! X3
I used to listen to this song when i was a schoolboy...we used to march to this tune just like the soldiers. Have you seen 'Waterloo Bridge'? This song is part of the soundtrack!
Searched for someone doing this song on guitar. Found you, and must say well done and thanks for a good authentic complete version.
This would go down well in an english pub session.

Thank you. I'm very glad.
In Japan this song is not well known.
Once I heard this song in a cinema, soon I like it.
I'm happy to know that many people in Europe love this song.
Now I have few variations to play guitar.
I'll learn other playing style and interpret good songs.
Thank you!

Hello. Thanks!
I'm surprised that you are German and you like this song.
Because it is World War 1 song.
By the way, lately I listen Die Prinzen's 1st and 2nd album.
Their harmony is cool. I respect them.

Hello. Thanks for your reply.
I understood your explanation about WW1.
We have some problems among neighbor countries because of WW2.
I'm sometimes confused by them.
I'v already bought the 2 a capella version albums of Prinzen. I love them. Their harmony is quite nice.

I'll buy some CDs and practice them.

I'm surprised that the song is used to march in schools even after World War 2.
In my country war songs are almost taboo.
I never heard lovely war songs like it in my country.
I'v never known "Waterloo Bridge".
Thanks for valuable information.
It is famous also amang movie fans in my country.
So I'll watch it this week for "It's a long way to Tipperary" and beautiful Vivian!
