Its a Long, Long Way to Tipperary World War I song Henry Burr LYRICS
Henry Burr sings Its a Long, Long Way to Tipperary on a rare cylinder from the World War I era, Indestructible Record 1525.
Up to mighty London came
An Irishman one day,
As the streets are 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:
Its a long way to Tipperary,
Its a long way to go.
Its a long way to Tipperary
And the sweetest girl I know!
Farewell to Piccadilly,
Goodbye, Leicester Square!
Its a long long way to Tipperary,
But my hearts right there.
Up to mighty London came
An Irishman one day,
As the streets are 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:
Its a long way to Tipperary,
Its a long way to go.
Its a long way to Tipperary
And the sweetest girl I know!
Farewell to Piccadilly,
Goodbye, Leicester Square!
Its a long long way to Tipperary,
But my hearts right there.
