GUEST,Jon Berger Lyr Req/Add: Marlborough's Health (Strawhead) (12) Lyr Req: Strawhead: 'Boney's a great commander' 18 May 16

There's an English country dance tune called "The Health," and it's just occurred to me that it's the tune to a song I remember from a long-ago recording by Strawhead. Does anyone remember the full lyric? The only lines I remember are "Boney's a great commander," "as brave as Alexander" (which probably rhymed with the first one), and "we'll die before we yield" at the end of the A part of the tune. Can anyone remind me of the complete lyric?
