Thread Name: Origins: who wrote the Woad Song?
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: who wrote the Woad Song?
It appears that there was a W. Hope Jones in the 1905 (1st. Lent) Kings College (Cambridge) Boat Club team, which would be the right time-frame.  Just the kind of person to have become a schoolmaster once the War was over, and to have indulged in that sort of good-natured parody, I'd have thought.
