When I was younger, about 7-8, my Grandad used to sing this song in his warm coarse voice, and I would try to remember the lyrics and sing them too. I forgot them and forgot the song completely until I saw this song in the related videos. Such nostalgia!
If I'm an American today it's partly because my father's father was an Italian balloon observer who was shot down & wounded and landed behind American lines in a field hospital.(a catherdral actually I think); By the time he recovered, his army unit didn't exist anymore and he was given the opportunity to sport an American uniform & work in the American signal corps. He took it. In late 1919 he arrived in New York as an American citizen. His Swedish war nurse came with him as his wife.
brings a tear to my eyes..family rememberences of a 16 year old who blagged his way into 1 SAI and who died in July 1916 and whose name is found on the Thiepval memorial...
What an utter waste of life. As near to hell as this wold gets What a waste, of hope, of dreams. just a waste. Next time lets send all the politicians to fight. Or if they want to talk their way to a solution, then that's good too.
This song is about love , love of his girl and love of his home , incidentially "Tipperary" is a very small place but very nice , so why not sing about it .
The University of Missouri's (Mizzou) Fight Song is inspired from this song. Mind=blown. Makes me even prouder to call it my alma mater's song. /watch?v=KJiR-3vOuZQ
My Grandad used to sing this! he was a royal marine - I used to love his war stories. God bless you Grandad - Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.
so proud to be english right now, one of the best armed forces in the world and always has been!! So much respect for the people that have died for this country, fought for this country, and survived seeing things most of us wouldnt see in our worst nightmares!!
this is a brilliant song, and for as long as humanity lasts, we should remember this song, not just for world war 1, but for the good things, the peace and the friendship, because it is easy to remember a war, but difficult to remember the peace
I was raised by my grandfather-he was a WW 1 survivor-he told me this was his marching song-he also told me at night that the men were screaming out in no-mans land-the injured soilders were being eaten alive by the rats-there is nothing glorious about war
I remember being taught all these WW1 songs by my father when I was 6 or 7 years old. This one and many many more. They bring back so many memories for me. It is quite amazing that I can now log onto the internet and listen to them again. I'll pack up me troubles in me old kit bag, and light up me lucifter while I'm on the long long way to Tipparery!
My grandfather was in WW1. He didn't like to talk about his war experiences at all, but if the grandchildren begged long enough he would sing this song and "Pack Up Your Troubles."
@jensmom604 Cool! I used to sit on my granddads lap and he would sing these and Oh What a Lovely War and The Bells of Hell which got my mother mad at him. He served in the 101st field artillery and knew Walter Brennan.
is this...IT IS! okay then! i had this on a huge record for those huge record players.
Wind that sucker up and listen to it wheeze before playing the song. Shut it off, and FWOOOOOOOSSSSSSSHHHHHHH!!!!. You can't imagine me replacing those damned tubes! "X" and "D"
"Positive comments from Germans, Brits and Russians on this posting section. We have many things in common ... how did we Europeans ever fight so much in the last century ???? "
@Beowulfcam Well, WWI? It was a war amongst among relatives. Uncles, brothers and so on. The sad thing are the 20 million dead in it. WilhelmII was a nephew of HM Queen Victoria? And those russian guy was a relative too.
It's pathetic how so many people think Germany was Nazi in WW1. Germany was a monarchy under Wilhelm II. So if you don't know shit about history don't say it, it'll make you look like a dumbass.
My ancestors were too old to fight when the USA entered the war. Damn stupid decision by Wilson. Let the Germans take the French empire and avoid the destruction of Europe... Obama is the first president to win the Nobel prize since Wilson. At least Obama did nothing--Wilson gave the world the Versailles treaty. It seems Obama has some of that Wilsonian idealism. He went to war with Libya without the slightest bit of congressional approval for the oil interests of Europe. Jolly good show!
Collecting Coins and Currency as a numismatist in essence affords me the creative pensive mind of thought to visualize what once was.

Well these were the songs people unloaded their stress too!!

@Lestrigones the freikorps were ex sodliers and were not nazis, and even if some were they were not nazis in ww1 as nazism didn't exist, i know history you do not there were NO NAZIS IN WW1

There is enough trouble in the world now with out raking over the past. Unite together regardless of who you are or where you come from. Try and make a better world for our children, PLEASE. !!!!!!!!
@Minpotts . how can you forget the past, ww1 and ww2, you owe your freedom and way you live your life today to them how fought. always remember that they gave there today for our tomorrow.
@garywot2 I will NEVER forget the past because I was 5 years old when the war started in 1939 and I remember the convoys of soldiers my Dad was one of them, I remember the air raid sirens the bombs the search lights the planes shooting at one another in the sky. I KNOW how we all got our freedom. What I DID say WAS 100s & 100s of years ago there is a BIG differance Think about it. !!!!!!
I noticed the last US veteran died a few weeks ago as 1919 points out. The last Canadian vet died about 2 years ago and the last French poilu died about a year ago. Only three years to the centenary.
Where I live (in Cracow) there are lot of old forts from WW1, some of them are massive, hard to not notice them, but sadly most of them are abandoned and in very bad shape.
Positive comments from Germans, Brits and Russians on this posting section. We have many things in common ... how did we Europeans ever fight so much in the last century ???? heres to the current century where I hope we will have more respect for our European brothers.
@burnt62 As with every war before and since, our great nations were wilfully clashed together by those who profit from war and conflict. And the more entrenched the fighting, the more lucrative it is for them. These warmongering scum have absolutely no respect for their host nations. Look at the history of the Warburg family funding the Nazi war machine, and the Rothschilds who bankrolled Napeoleon and his stampede across Europe. Which banking dynasties are pushing for war today??

And apart from which, is was a song all about everyone (no matter where they were from) being united in their fight. Before everything became so narrow-minded and every man for himself.
@THEIRISHVL97DIMIR Oh come on you Irish ignoramus prig. It was a WAR song. A WORLD war song I hasten to add. A song made WAY before it became Brits vs the IRA and all that bollocks. Get your bloody facts right. We were all on the same side in those days (believe it or not) you eejit. It was a song about men being far away from their families, nothing more than that.
Being only 5 years old when WW2 started and my Dad being in both WW1 and 2 we as children grew up with all these songs I remember them being sung by Gracie Fields, Vera Lynne and Deanna Durban, we had lots of the old songs on our old 78 records and played them over and over again, They were very inspiring at that time when things got so bad.,I think I have still got a Deanna Durban 78 record , Its lovely to be able to listen to all the old war songs even now. minpotts
the song was written by jack judge in oldbury to irish parents he spent his summers in mayo and tipperary wrote it as a bet in 1912 that in 24hrs he couldnt write a hit song he took the bet and next nite performed it
@PilotInCommand100 Irish should dislike this song as its lyrics are 100% bigoted towards the Irish. Yes, it is a cool tune. I hear nothing in this song about Germans. No?
What u on about mate? Jack Judges parents from from Co Mayo in Ireland and his grandparents from Tipperary. This dates from a time when Ireland was very much part of the UK, much like Scotland still is now. Not for much longer though I hope.
@Hkepfer The Connaught Rangers sung it in 1914 to show they disliked being diverted from home where they were traveling back to after spending many years in India to France instead, due to the outbreak of war. First thing they knew of it was when they disembarked. They sang it first, and it became popular after that.
Up to mighty London came An Irish lad 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! 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 Piccadilly, 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.
Fear GOD who hath power to cast you into HELL(Luke 12:5)! Fear God and depart from evil(Proverbs 3:7)! God is ANGRY with the wicked everyday(Psalm 7:11)! Jesus Christ is the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, there is NO OTHER WAY to be saved(John 14:6)! For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved(John 3:17)! TURN FROM YOUR SINS AND SUBMIT 2 THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST NOW! DON'T BOAST OF HAVING TOMORROW! Proverbs 27:1
It's inexplicable that feeling I get when I hear these old songs. I'm only fifteen, and I can't even imagine what was going on at the time of this song, and it numbs my mind to think about it.
@Canadianspunge - you are wise beyond your years. Instill your passion amongst others & you can change the world ! ! !

This is an Irish song!!!! not British!!!!! written before Ireland got its independence, originally used by the Southern Irish regiments in the War sent and supportted by the IPP.
@matthaveron Jack Judge's mother was Irish and his grandmother from Tipperary. But Ireland was then part of the United Kingdom and he spent his life in England. This song was first played in a music hall in England, sung by an Englishman and written when he was in England (perhaps homesick). The Connaught Rangers were the first regiment singing it (when it was caught on film), from then on it became something of a tradition for new regiments to sing it on the way to the front.
@thebigJM92 But Ireland was then part of the UK, it's still Ireland it's not England therefore not English!!, mother/ grandmother Irish, this adds to the fact that it is an Irish Song just because the English tried to pass it off as their own, doesnt take from Fact it's an Irish song. Hence "Its a long way to Tipperary" i sing American songs, know ppl who write songs in IRE about America doesnt mean the Songs Irish just because an Irish man sang it and the song was written in Ireland!
@matthaveron He was born in England (Oldbury, Worcestershire) and died in England (West Bromwich). He wrote it in Stalybridge, Cheshire and it was first played at "the Grand" theatre in Stalybridge. It was then bought by the British music publisher Feldman and it was they who made it a hit song in 1914 when John McCormack recorded it. Its as Irish as Rudyard Kipling is Indian.
@thebigJM92 well obviously i made that stuff up about him, but it is an Irish song becasue he was classed as Irish , even his song calls him Irish and A writing of Tipperary calls him irish. So he wrote the Song, his parents were Irish, from County Mayo. His grand-parents came from Tipperary..He was Irish i take it !!!! TY TY sang by an Irish Regiment therefore an Irish song TY TY Tipperary thats in Ireland hmmmm thats weird
@thebigJM92 Rudyard Kipling could be Indian lmao ya never know :) :) jk no his parents where from England i take it so he was English but wait he was born in Bombay India so according to you...he must be Indian just like Judge was born in England even tho Irish Parents hmmm yeah must be English...pause...not!!!!! ty ty

Just a couple of points to remember:
1. This song was written when the whole of Ireland was part of the UK, and thus it makes this song British.

I noticed the last US veteran died a few weeks ago as 1919 points out. The last Canadian vet died about 2 years ago and the last French poilu died about a year ago. Only three years to the centenary.

Where I live (in Cracow) there are lot of old forts from WW1, some of them are massive, hard to not notice them, but sadly most of them are abandoned and in very bad shape.

It's sad that Frank Buckles, the last living WW1 veteran from the U.S.A, recently passed away. I wonder how many times he must've heard this song!

@burnt62 As with every war before and since, our great nations were wilfully clashed together by those who profit from war and conflict. And the more entrenched the fighting, the more lucrative it is for them. These warmongering scum have absolutely no respect for their host nations. Look at the history of the Warburg family funding the Nazi war machine, and the Rothschilds who bankrolled Napeoleon and his stampede across Europe. Which banking dynasties are pushing for war today??

@edwincluck At last, someone talking sense.
Not blinded by blinkered patriotism.
The money-slurping classes always gain from war, politics and religion and the poorer classes always pay the price.
The poorer classes even vote for the people who deliberately keep them poor!
What chance have we got?

@THEIRISHVL97DIMIR Oh come on you Irish ignoramus prig. It was a WAR song. A WORLD war song I hasten to add. A song made WAY before it became Brits vs the IRA and all that bollocks. Get your bloody facts right. We were all on the same side in those days (believe it or not) you eejit. It was a song about men being far away from their families, nothing more than that.

Being only 5 years old when WW2 started and my Dad being in both WW1 and 2 we as children grew up with all these songs I remember them being sung by Gracie Fields, Vera Lynne and Deanna Durban, we had lots of the old songs on our old 78 records and played them over and over again, They were very inspiring at that time when things got so bad.,I think I have still got a Deanna Durban 78 record , Its lovely to be able to listen to all the old war songs even now. minpotts

What u on about mate? Jack Judges parents from from Co Mayo in Ireland and his grandparents from Tipperary. This dates from a time when Ireland was very much part of the UK, much like Scotland still is now. Not for much longer though I hope.

@Hkepfer The Connaught Rangers sung it in 1914 to show they disliked being diverted from home where they were traveling back to after spending many years in India to France instead, due to the outbreak of war. First thing they knew of it was when they disembarked. They sang it first, and it became popular after that.

This is an Irish song!!!! not British!!!!! written before Ireland got its independence, originally used by the Southern Irish regiments in the War sent and supportted by the IPP.
matthaveron 1 year ago
@matthaveron Jack Judge's mother was Irish and his grandmother from Tipperary. But Ireland was then part of the United Kingdom and he spent his life in England. This song was first played in a music hall in England, sung by an Englishman and written when he was in England (perhaps homesick). The Connaught Rangers were the first regiment singing it (when it was caught on film), from then on it became something of a tradition for new regiments to sing it on the way to the front.
thebigJM92 1 year ago
@thebigJM92 But Ireland was then part of the UK, it's still Ireland it's not England therefore not English!!, mother/ grandmother Irish, this adds to the fact that it is an Irish Song just because the English tried to pass it off as their own, doesnt take from Fact it's an Irish song. Hence "Its a long way to Tipperary" i sing American songs, know ppl who write songs in IRE about America doesnt mean the Songs Irish just because an Irish man sang it and the song was written in Ireland!
matthaveron 1 year ago
@matthaveron He was born in England (Oldbury, Worcestershire) and died in England (West Bromwich). He wrote it in Stalybridge, Cheshire and it was first played at "the Grand" theatre in Stalybridge. It was then bought by the British music publisher Feldman and it was they who made it a hit song in 1914 when John McCormack recorded it. Its as Irish as Rudyard Kipling is Indian.
thebigJM92 1 year ago
@thebigJM92 well obviously i made that stuff up about him, but it is an Irish song becasue he was classed as Irish , even his song calls him Irish and A writing of Tipperary calls him irish. So he wrote the Song, his parents were Irish, from County Mayo. His grand-parents came from Tipperary..He was Irish i take it !!!! TY TY sang by an Irish Regiment therefore an Irish song TY TY Tipperary thats in Ireland hmmmm thats weird

@thebigJM92 Rudyard Kipling could be Indian lmao ya never know :) :) jk no his parents where from England i take it so he was English but wait he was born in Bombay India so according to you...he must be Indian just like Judge was born in England even tho Irish Parents hmmm yeah must be English...pause...not!!!!! ty ty
