Lyrics:

Boney was a warrior
Away, a- yah
A warrior and a tarrier
Jean François

Boney fought the Roo-shi--ans (=Russians)
Away, a-yah
Boney fought the Proo-shi-ans (=Prussians)
Jean François

Moscow was a blazing
Away, a-yah
And Boney was a raging
Jean François

Boney went to Waterloo
Away-a-yah
There he got his overthrow
Jean François

Boney broke his heart and died
Away, a-yah
Away in Saint A-lee-ay-na (= Helena)
Jean François

Drive her, Cap´n, drive her
Away, a- yah
And bust the chafing leather
Jean François
