I learned it from that wonderful fount of all things traditional, the BBC! It appeared in Singing Together in 19something-or-other (when I was still in short trousers - the first time around!), from which I culled the following: Boney was a warrior Way ay ah Boney was a warrior John France wah Boney beat the Prooshians Boney beat the Rooshians Boney went to Mossycow Boney he came back again Boney went to Elbow Boney went to Waterloo Boney he was sent away Boney broke his heart and died Boney was a warrior From the Beeb, it must be authoritative! epn
