Long way to Tipperary
 
In GWX 3.0, in "Its a long way to Tipperary", who sings it?

I've been listening to it all day to pass time in class, with deaf subs no doubt, and I have 10 different versions of the song.

My guess is it is John McCormick, but I'm only 50% sure.

The UG says the version included with GWX is sung by Albert Farrington circa 1915.

Well at least I have that one too :)

I assume you also have the Soviet Army Chorus & Band version? :D

Written by Jack Judge, apparently on a bet, in 1912. Was being sung by Irish regiments in WWI as early as 1914; by the end of the war its popularity had spread to other units of the British Army. And the rest, as they say, is a Wikipedia article. :D
