WORLD WAR I QUODLIBET

(It's a long way to Tipperary by Jack Judge;
There's a long, long trail a-winding by Zo Elliott & Stoddard King; and
Keep the home fires burning by Lena Gilbert Ford & Ivor Novello)

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.

There's a long, long trail a-winding
  Into the land of my dreams,
Where the nightingales are singing
  And the white moon beams.
There's a long, long night of waiting
  Until my dreams all come true;
Till the day when I'll be going down
  That long, long trail with you.

Keep the home fires burning,
  While your hearts are yearning,
Though your lads are far away
  They dream of home.
There's a silver lining
  Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark cloud inside out
  'Til the boys come home.



It's a 		long way to Tipperary
There's a 	long, long trail a-winding
			Keep the home fires burning,

It's a 		long way to go.
Into the 		land of my dreams,
			While your hearts are yearning,

It's a 		long way to Tipperary
Where the 	nightingales are singing
			Though your lads are far away

To the 		sweetest girl I know!
And the 		white moon beams.
They 		dream of home.

			Goodbye Piccadilly
There's a 	long, long night of waiting
			There's a silver lining

			Farewell Leicester Square!
Until my 		dreams all come true;
			Through the dark clouds shining,

It's a 		long long way to Tipperary
Till the 		day when I'll be going down
			Turn the dark cloud inside out

But 			my heart's right there.
That 		long, long trail with you.
'Til the 		boys come home.
