Martin Carthy… Morris Dance tune, from Longborough, Gloucestershire……Swaggering Boney was a flattering nickname given to Napoleon Bonaparte, a frequent character in English and Irish folklore (hes often the hero in Irish songs and the villain in English ones).

He says he learnt it “by osmosis.” - Steve Winick, liner notes for The Collection/ Martin Carthyttps://youtube/watch?v=JBvieNBTY3k
