28 May 10 - 06:57 PM (#2916286) Subject: Lyr Req: Tipperary far away From: Frank_Finn I wonder can anybody help me find the lyrics of this song. Tipperary Far Away Some of the lines go like this "When I think of Charles Kickham, its no wonder I do mourn and dream of where his body lies in his native Mullinahone" "In beautiful Tipperary, Tipperary far away" "I remember the 1930's when we won the All Ireland crown..." |

It's all over the www, btw. |

15 Feb 12 - 04:20 AM (#3308743) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Tipperary far away From: MartinRyan To ask the obvious question - was it A Long Way to Tipperary before Tipperary was (So) Far Away? The Sean Treacy sets are later, obviously, than the WWI chestnut. Does the "Tipperary (so) far Away" phrase occur anywhere before it? I have an old collection of Tipperary songs somewhere .... must check it out. Regards |
