It was a WW1 song and according to Brewer's isinseperably associated with that War. It was composed by Jack Judge and the words by H J Williams, and was composed in 1912. Tipperary is a place in Ireland. and I suppose it relates to one of Britain's futile military attemps to subjugate that awkward place. The words are-- It's a long way to Tipperary. It's a long wat 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!
