Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Boney Was a Warrior
Boney was a Warrior
Boney was a warrior
Away, a-yah!
A warrior and a terrier
Jean Francois!
Boney fought the Russians
Away, a-yah!
The Russians and the Prussians.
Jean Francois!
Moscow was a-blazing
Away, a-yah!
And Boney was a-raging.
Jean Francois!
Boney went to Elba
Away, a-yah!
Boney he came back again.
Jean Francois!
Boney went to Waterloo
Away, a-yah!
There he got his overthrow.
Jean Francois!
Then they took him off again
Away, a-yah!
Aboard the Billy Ruffian.
Jean Francois!
He went to Saint Helena,
Away, a-yah!
There he was a prisoner,
Jean Francois!
Boney broke his heart and died
Away, a-yah!
Away in Saint Helena
Jean Francois
Google Boney was a Warrior, lyrics
Lots of sites with the words, some of which differ slightly from that in the DT.
