Napoleon leaves Elba on 2/26/1815
The "hundred days" begins


          Boney was a warrior
                  Way-aay ah!
          A warrior, a tarrier
                  John Francois!
          Boney went to Elba
                  Way-aay ah!
          And Boney he came back again.
                  John Francois!
  
                          "Boney was a Warrior," per Paul Clayton.

Hugill's version of the chantey is interesting - it's essentially a full ballad and that's relatively rare for chanties.
