Before retreating, the Germans set the palace ablaze (Edmund Stevens, Russia Is No Riddle, Kessinger Publishing, 2005, page 184).

"The Mexicans fought bravely, we forced them back however...opposed by the retreating enemy, who defended every foot of ground stubbornly and who were nobly assisted by hundreds of Mexican ladies, who from the tops of their houses...were pouring boiling water, boiling oil, rocks, anything they could lay their hands on, upon the very much exposed heads of our boys.

The song makes reference to an unpopular dish served in the Royal Navy, consisting of fried egg on fried bread and called "chicken on a raft." The chorus is as follows: > Chicken on a raft on a Monday morning, > Oh, what a terrible sight to see, > The Dabtoes forrard and the dustmen aft, > Sittin' there a'pickin' at a chicken on a raft! The song was recorded by The Young Tradition, on their 1967 EP also titled Chicken on a Raft. Tawney's song, Sally Free And Easy, written in the late 1950s, was covered by numerous folk artists, including Carolyn Hester, Dorris Henderson and John Renbourn, Davey Graham, Pentangle, The Corries, Marianne Faithfull, Alan Stivell and Bob Dylan.
