By the way, the words to The Woad song are in the database, although not quite the same as the ones I remember.

Main differences are:

verse 2:

Dress us more than these
Saxon warriors laced in stitches
Building beds for bugs in britches

and

Tramp up Snowdon ...

last line:

Go it, ancient B's

The discussion threads point to a possible author, as below

From Malcolm Douglas:

It seems that W. Hope Jones was a master at Eton, and wrote the song, c.1921, for the college's Boy Scout troop. ("Gilwell Camp Fire Song Book" and comments on the web.)
