Interesting thread. The song has a Roud number (24541), though only one entry in the online index. It's a small fragment in the Bayard collection, which you can hear on youtube: Charles S. Brink at 14:49. The fragment has: My Uncle Dick, he took a stick, And he killed five hundred Irishmen, At the Battle of the Boiling Waters. A Great War Forum, in a thread on My Old Man's A Dustman parodies, has this post from MikeyH (Lieut-Colonel): "A playground ditty we would sing in the 1950's in Lancashire ran something like this:- Oh my Uncle Ben he killed ten men At the batle of Boiling Water One lay here and one lay there And one lay round the corner One poor soul with a bullet up his hole Lay crying out for water A man came by and pissed in his eye At the battle of Boiling Water. Interesting to see similar lyrics in the 'Battle of Mons' quoted above."
