Subject: Lyr req: Typical Tipperary From: GUEST,chuck Date: 23 Jan 01 - 11:47 PM This is the part I remember from grade school: Mike O'Rourke left County Cork to sail across the foam And now it's been a year since he got over here One day from dear old Ireland Mike received a little note They asked him how he liked it here and he sat down and wrote: There's a typical Tipperary, a typical Dublin Bay, A typical County Kerry in the good old USA. Although you're many miles from where the shamrocks grow, You'll find an Irishman wherever you will go. Need the rest of the chorus and more verses. Anybody remember it? Thanks. |

Subject: Lyr Add: THERE'S A TYPICAL TIPPERARY OVER HERE From: Jim Dixon Date: 27 Jan 02 - 12:09 PM Lyrics found at Richard Densmore's Edison Diamond Disc and 78rpm Record Collection. (The following lyrics are apparently a transcription of Edison Diamond Disc #50683-R issued in 1920. The disk does not identify the singers.)
THERE'S A TYPICAL TIPPERARY OVER HERE
Mike O'Rourke left County Cork to sail across the foam,
There's a typical Tipperary, a typical Dublin Bay,
Mike O'Rourke when he left Cork said "Faith, I won't be lost,
There's a typical Tipperary, a typical Dublin Bay,
There are Irish diplomats, typical Irish democrats,
There's a typical Tipperary, a typical Dublin Bay, The Henderson Library at Georgia Southern University has a copy of the sheet music, but it is not available online. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: There's a Typical Tipperary Over Here From: Jim Dixon Date: 22 Mar 14 - 10:09 AM You can see the sheet music to THERE'S A TYPICAL TIPPERARY OVER HERE at the website of The Archive of Popular Music at UCLA. Interestingly, it only has the first two verses and the first version of the chorus as given above. So who wrote the rest? One important correction: Words by Alex Gerber; music by Abner Silver; ©1922. |
