The former three songs required two takes each, with the latter requiring only one.〔("Discography of John McCormack: 1918 ), "John McCormack Society", 1997〕 Both "Little Mother of Mine" and "God Be with our Boys Tonight" by McCormack charted #3 on US charts in 1918, with McCormack's renditions of "Calling Me Home to You" and "My Irish Song of Songs" both failing to chart. "Calling You Home to Me" was McCormack's third recording of a composition by Francis Dorel, the first two recordings being "When My Ships Come Sailing Home" in 1915 and "Love Bells" in 1916. Neither "When My Ships Come Sailing Home" nor "Love Bells" succeeded on American Charts in their respective years. A prior recording of "Calling Me Home to You" sung by Oscar Seagle in March charted #4 on US charts that same year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.musicvf.com/top_songs_of_1918 )〕 The flip side of Seagle's rendition included a recording of There's a Long, Long Trail which Seagle recorded with the Columbia Stellar Quartette.〔''Physical Training'', Volume 16, page 562.〕〔http://www.discogs.com/Oscar-Seagle-Columbia-Stellar-Quartette-Theres-A-Long-Long-Trail-Calling-Me-Home-To-You/release/5875723 〕 Another performer who is known for having this song in their repertoire is Topliss Green.〔Advertisement in ''Songs of Erin: A Collection of Fifty Irish Folk Songs'', London: Boosey and Co.
