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.
