No because the song is not about the place. There was a house of "working girls" called tipperary in london around world war 1 thats what they were singing about...

No, we don't. Unless we're talking about the red light district in London, which is the Tipperary referred to in that song.

OH no, they sing
"How man roads must a man walk down
before he can get out of Tipperary?'

Yes, then they go on a round the world cruise to get back to Tipperary, to prove it.

Yes, if they live a mile out of town and they have to walk on a cold damp winter's day because there is no Public Transport.

No. I think it was sung by Irish Navvies (road builders) living in London, who were home sick for Ireland.
