Geocache Description:

You are looking for a bison tube.  It is hanging overhead.  


The song, "It's a Long Way to Tipperary" was written by Jack Judge and Henry James "Harry" Williams.  It was allegedly written for a 5-shilling bet on January 30th, 1912.  It became popular among soldiers in the First World War and is often considered a song of war.  Interestingly, welcoming signs in Tipperary, Ireland, declare, "You've come a long way...".

Tipperary is situated on the between Limerick City and Waterford City. in Ireland.  As you drive away from this cache, check out the name of other streets in the area.

 

And now for your enjoyment, the lyrics for "It's a Long Way to Tipperary":

Up to mighty London, came an Irishman one day.

As the streets are paved with gold, sure, everyone was gay,

Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand and Leicester Square,

Till Paddy got excited, then he shouted to them there:

(Chorus) 

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.

 

Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish Molly-O,

Saying, "Should you not receive it, write and let me know!"

"If I make mistakes in spelling, molly, dear," said he,

"Remember, it's the pen that's bad, don't lay the blame on me!

(Chorus)

Molly wrote a neat reply, to Irish Paddy-O,

Saying "Mike Maloney wants to marry me, and so

Leave the Strand and Piccadilly or you'll be to blame,

For love has fairly drove me silly: Hoping you're the same!"

(Chorus)

And of course, alternative concluding chorus, 

That's the wrong way to tickle Mary, that's the wrong way to kiss.

Don't you know that over here, lad, they like it best like this.

Hooray pour Les Français, Farewell Angleterre.

We didn't know how to tickle Mary, but we learnt how over there.

 

Good Luck and Happy Caching!
