For what it's worth, there is an overlap of lyrics between "Stand to" and "The Devonshire Carol", the latter being as sung in the stage production of "War Horse": if you click on the second link in "Related threads" above, it will take you there. The full lyrics are there, as is link to a YouTube video of John Tams and Barry Coope performing it.
