It's a Long Way to Tipperary - WW1 American Version

- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" is a British music hall song written by Jack Judge and co-credited to Henry James "Harry" Williams.[1] It was allegedly written for a 5-shilling bet in Stalybridge on 30 January 1912 and performed the next night at the local music hall. Now commonly called "It's a Long Way to Tipperary", the original printed music calls it "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary". It became popular among soldiers in the First World War and is remembered as a song of that war. This is the American version of the song, and this video is a tribute to the "Doughboys" - American Soldiers who fought in the Great War.
This irish guy has been everywhere eh

I’m surprised he’s not got lost
@@unactivechannel007 so is my right!
I like the British version a little better, but as an American I have Patriotic obligation to like this one better.
I like the way you think, good man.

Im just glad staten Island is mentioned in the song, my heart is complete

My friends, the chill that goes down your spine and the connection you feel with dead men from over a century ago singing isn’t good. It reminds you of the horror men faced.
I can taste the freedom.
Real Americans
Back when it meant something to be an American. Brave men of European stock.
@@imperialglory Not just European, like the 442nd reg. was made up of Japanese, and they were the most decorated regiment of ww2, there color didn't make a difference, there pride in country and each other did
@Our ship Lusitania You have your right to your opinion as I and I feel that even if I disagree with you I can't do anything about it. Let us go with that.
I like the big brimmed cowboy0esque hat the Americans wear. It makes them unique looking and distinct for the time period.
Am I only one who thinks the British version sounds more American and the American version sounds more British?
Best version by far. Most of the guys in these pictures probably died. Sad to think about.
Does anyone know who sung this American version?
Frank Patterson(1938-2000) a Irish tenor who spent much of his life in America.
It's a long way
This is a British song about a place in Ireland
this is the american version of a british song about a place in ireland actually
@@ThomasFarquhar2 lol
The tipperary song is you've no objections
So in conclusion
Tipperary's everywhere and everyone's Irish?
Yes, and yes.
I want to hear the Klingon version.
I think I do a really good job of annoying everyone on battlefield 1 by constantly singing this. Tessie too.
Why did they make similar version from the British
You know, reference to places like Time Square, which are inside your country make this song closer to your hearth
0:26
Are we downhearted?
No.
More of a " its a long way to therapy "
Why is there an American version to this song
Name something that doesn't have an American version
Since I'm from Philly, here's my shot at lyrics set in Philadelphia.
"It's a long way to Philadelphia / It's a long way, from home / It's a long way to Philadelphia / To sweetest girl I know / Goodbye Bella Vista, Farewell Rittenhouse / It's a long, long way to Philadelphia, but it is my home"
Did they just call UK a stranded Island tho?
You talking about 0:26?
They're talking about Staten Island, an island in New York.
Why are German soldiers singing in Das Boot about Times Square? Answer: American Chicks :D
So in America they are not gay.

This is bri*ish

Imagine being sent to the front thinking it'll be an adventure just to find the horrors of WW1, Machine guns, Artillery, Gas, etc.....Most of the men in those photos probably died in the war. Lest we forget, WW1 1914-1918!
The men who joined up thinking they would 'see the world' sure were in for a shock when they saw the trenches and true horrors of war. They are all at peace now.
Yea those things stick with you and they probably won’t forget it in the afterlife
@@elcerdo9687 Yea, they saw some pretty horrible things. Veterans in Britain after the war were denied jobs, and disabled Veterans had a hard time surviving, because there were no charities, fundraisers.
@Dan Gurău Man, that really is a lot of stuff. Probably one of the reasons why it was so brutal was because the opposing sides wanted to get on with the war, as it was normally a stalemate. So they thought up brutal and horrifying ways to make the enemy retreat.
Thankfully America didn’t join in till the last minute. So not much Americans died compared to Britain and France. But my ancestors in France and Ireland (Or Britain) took a major death count in this war
This song is sung by Irish tenor Frank Patterson (1938-2000) who spent much of his life in America
He now lies buried in
Saint Patrick's Cemetery,
Clonmel,
County Tipperary,
Ireland.
The slow-tempo solo with the strings in back and the images of soldiers just evokes such an indescribable feeling of grief and sorrow. The amount of tragedy these men witnessed on a daily based, many of them dying without ever seeing their loved ones again, is astounding. The Great War should never be forgotten, nor should each and every man who witnessed the horrors of modern warfare for the first time in those French fields 100 years ago.
This song gives me a shiver down my spine.. looking at all the boys who fought for our country so long ago.. and that they were patriotic.. There's a feeling I can't describe.. I makes you nostalgic, even though you weren't even close to being related to anything of this at all.. There's a certain sadness this evokes, and I a shed a tear, the singing is so powerful...
Many died believing they would bring peace and stability to Europe, a large portion survived to see that their sacrifices and effort, only postponed more suffering the likes of which they could never dream of, and a handful survived long enough to see there own country be torn apart and slowly destroyed by its own imperial wars and conflicts.
@@hockeymaskbob2942 both sides were so ignorant. Why did the British even fight the Germans? They had the same bloodline, for Christ sakes. Maybe I'm biased from the modern times, but there's no reason for them to fight.

It just feels so weird looking at the pictures of these soldiers knowing every single one of them are dead. Edit: thanks for the likes I have never got this many!
I won't sleep knowing that
It's a very crazy thought, when I'm making these videos I have a bunch of dead people on my computer. I look into their eyes and realize they're all gone, and it's sad. Some of them might not have even survived the war.
Not only that, but it is mind-tingling to think about how long the United States lasted in World War One. So not only all of those heros that we can no longer say hi to, but the tons of other soldiers that died too. (Albeit this song is quite happy).
it's even worse that some guys make it an american song while its an irish song and ireland was a part of the united kingdom back in 1914, the usa had nothing to do with this song... they only joined the war in 1917, which is 5 years after this song. greetings from iceland, always neutral but agianst people that think the usa is superior, it isnt.
Don’t worry, pretty sure some died to age (hopefully)
My favorite part is gonna have to be 2:15, nothing beats a unison of voices singing as one. (Technically 2:31)

This is an amazing song, but every time I try to watch it just buffers at every good part, but for almost every other song I listen to it will play normally with little to no buffers.
@Bearded Bomber77 That's very odd, I don't know if there's anything I can do but I'll look into it. It works fine for me. It is odd that other versions of this song don't buffer for you and this is the only one.
The sheer amount of Immigrants trying to join in makes it buffer.

@@babyinuyasha Never forget about the US volunteers that fought in other armies during the war before the US formally declared war in April of 1917 and ended up fighting in other bloody battles before April of '17
People need to quit whining that the songs not originally American think about the soldiers that listened and sang the song it may have been the last think they ever heard before a snipers bullet or artillery shell hit them my fifth cousins cousin fought in the great war he was highly decorated earning the Distinguished Service cross and the purple heart he was one of the first to go over the top in the St. Miheal offensive on Sept 12, 1918 and with himself and 3 other soldiers they captured 12 machine guns and their gunners he survived the war unlike so many others all nations that fought in the war deserve equal respect Axis or Allied they all had men that had lives lives that were taken from them lest they not be forgotten.
Dulce decorum est pro partria mori
I don't see anyone whining
Lmao you're the only one whining
It's so sad to think and look at these pictures into the soldiers eyes and think that all of them are long dead even if they survived and died of old age and it's also sad to think that we are about to lose the flame of our glorious World War ll Vets

Yea,I figured it's where my PTSD came from. The soul never forgets.
It was written by two irishmen for the british army. I saw a bunch of people argiing over the origins. But the truth is i was written about irish-british soldiers in 1914.
This makes me want to watch the Lost Battalion movie.

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,
Then he shouted to them there:
Chorus
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!"
Chorus
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!"
Chorus
An alternative bawdy concluding chorus[citation needed]:

This Song remind me of British Actor, Claude Rains. He served in The First World War, and sustained an Eye injury, due to a Gas Attack. Great Actor! His Roles include The Phantom of The Opera form 1943, and The Invisible Man from 1933. May you rest in Peace, Claude. Your Universal Studios Monsters are my favorite Roles of yours.
funny, the usa's army was actually so outdated, and now they're the biggest military ever.
I always found it hilarious to see German U-boaters singing to this song in Das Boot
We did a recital with full orchestra for maryanne dance studio in Boston Ma in the 70’s ...I practice this song all the time because we had to sing also....
this songs actually an irish song cause Tipperary is a town in the Republic of Ireland
Remember this song was incredibly GOOD back then, even the enemy sung it.
The song is English mate. Its about Ireland but it's written by an Englishman
During WW1 there was no Republic of Ireland and it was all part of the United Kingdom, therefore when the song was written Tipperary was a town in the United Kingdom, and as pointed out above me it was written by an Englishman
Coming from a irish person it's sadly British because it was written by a brit and the British occupation of Ireland
@@anthemsmadeeasy5940 It's a Irish song about Irishmen yearning to return home to Ireland. Ireland is Ireland regardless if it's a republic or not.
Virtually every nation had a version of this song during ww1
This sounds like "it's a long way to mukumbura"
Yup, that was a variation of this song that was popular among Rhodesians during the Bush War.
When I listen to this song, moments of Battlefield 1 and Battlefield 5 goes through my mind.
