Boney was a warrior
Away ay-yah
A warrior, a tarrier
Jean-François
Boney fought the Prussians
Away ay-yah
And Boney fought the Russians
Jean-François
Boney went to Moscow
Away ay-yah
Across the Alps and frosted snow
Jean-François
Moscow was a-blazing
Away ay-yah
And Boney was a-raging
Jean-François
Boney went to Elbow
Away ay-yah
And Boney, he came back again
Jean-François
Boney went to Waterloo
Away ay-yah
And there he got his overthrow
Jean-François
Boney, he was sent away
Away ay-yah
Away in St. Helena
Jean-François
Boney broke his heart and died
Away ay-yah
Away in St. Helena
Jean-François
Boney was a warrior
Away ay-yah
A warrior, a tarrier
Jean-François
