Don't know about all those As and Bs, but many thanks to GUESThenryp, 7.04for some more words to "The Cock o' the North" (Regimental March of the Gordon Highlanders). You might date these to either c. 1880 or c. 1900:
"Auntie Mary ... had a Canary...
Up the leg o' her Drawers;
It cursed the Boers ... fur hours and hours
And won the Victoria Cross".
(Pronounce "hours" to rhyme with "moors")
