Tipperary (/ˌtɪpəˈrɛəri/; Irish: Tiobraid Árann) is a town and a civil parish in County Tipperary, Ireland. Its population was 4,415 at the 2006 census. It is also an ecclesiastical parish in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly, and is in the historical barony of Clanwilliam. The town gave its name to County Tipperary.
In Irish, "Tiobraid Árann" means "The Well of Ara"—a reference to the river which flows through the town. The well itself is located in the townland of Glenbane which is in the parish of Lattin and Cullen. This is where the River Ara rises. Little is known of the historical significance of the well.
The town is a medieval foundation and became a population centre in the early 13th century. Its ancient fortifications have disappeared but its central area is characterized by a wide streets radiating from the principal thoroughfare of Main Street.
There are two historical monuments in the Main Street, namely the bronze statue of Charles Kickham (poet and patriot) and the Maid of Erin statue erected to commemorate the Irish patriots, Allen, Larkin and O'Brien, who are collectively known as the Manchester Martyrs. The Maid of Erin is a freestanding monument; erected in 1907 it was relocated to a corner site on the main street from the centre of the main street in 2003. It is composed of carved limestone and the female figure stands on a base depicting the portraits of the three executed men. The portraits carry the names in Irish of each man. She is now situated on stone flagged pavement behind wrought-iron railings, with an information board. This memorial to the Manchester Martyrs is a landmark piece of sculpture now located in a prominent corner site. The choice of a female figure as the personification of Ireland for such a memorial was common at the time. It is a naturalistic and evocative piece of work, made all the more striking by the lifelike portraits of the executed men.

It became one of the most popular anthems sung by soldiers on the way to the Western Front during the early enthusiasm of summer 1914, the song was written by Jack Judge and Harry Williams some two years earlier in 1912. Lyrics are as follows It's a Long Way to Tipperary Up to mighty London came An Irish man one day, All the streets were paved with gold, So everyone was gay!

It's A Long Way To Tipperary It's a Long Way to Tipperary ist ein Lied der Marschmusik, das am 31. Januar 1912 von Jack Judge geschrieben wurde. Als eines der Lieblingslieder der britischen Soldaten wurde es im Ersten Weltkrieg weltweit bekannt und gehört heute zum Standardrepertoire vieler Militärkapellen. Der Refrain lautet: 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. Eine Bedeutung hat das Lied in dem Wolfgang-Petersen-Film „Das Boot" nach dem Roman von Lothar-Günther Buchheim; es wird damit eine unterschwellige anti-nationalsozialistische Haltung des U-Boot-Komm...
"It's a Long Way to Tipperary" is a British music hall and marching song written by Jack Judge (and co-credited but not co-written by Harry Williams) that, allegedly, was written for a 5 shilling bet in Stalybridge, on the 30 January 1912 and performed the next night at the local music hall. Judge's parents were Irish, and his grandparents came from Tipperary. One of the most popular hits of the time, the song is typical in that it is not a war-like song, which incites the soldiers to glorious deeds. Popular songs in previous wars (such as the Boer war) frequently did this. In the first world war however, the most popular songs like this one and "Keep the Home Fires Burning" concentrated on the longing for home.

Tipperary song from Das Boot movie The German U-boat crew sings the song as they start patrolling in the North Atlantic and they also sing it as they cruise toward home. I know that I am not the first who uploaded this sequence to Youtube. As I've noticed those versions have too low voice. This version has better voice quality. Or at least I worked on it to be so:)
The A.V. Alexandrov Russian army twice red-bannered academic song and dance ensemble. I first had this on vinyl over 40 years ago and went to see the Choir and Dancers in London in the early 1970s. This is the song that was used in Das Boot and was recorded by the Choir under the direction of Boris Alexandrov who was director from 1946 to 1987. It is therefore not a contemporary recording. It's a Long Way to Tipperary Up to mighty London came An Irish lad one day, All the streets were 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: 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!...
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 Irish lad one day, All the streets were 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: It's a long way to Tipperary, It's a long way to go.

What will I be?
If I continue to take this difficult way I chose to go
And if I drop out now, I lose everything, and everyone I've got to keep me
Warm
And I will be happy, i won't be sad
Sometimes I think about the things I wish I had
I could have spent some time, and try to catch a flight
But I chose to take the bus, I'll get there right on time
I chose to take the long way
The harder the struggle, the greater the reward
I want my whopper my way
And I know it won't be right away
What should I say
When people ask me
What the hell i think i am gonna be
If i tell the truth
They think i am bragging
