  1. i know the next part is

  2. Yeah, heard a version years ago but don't remember anything more than the bit you posted.  It went like this:

    Early one morning, late at night

    Two dead men got up to fight

    Back to back, they faced each other

    Drew their swords and shot one another

    Same thing only a bit different.

    Here's a bit more from the link:

    One fine day in the middle of the night.

    Two dead men got up to fight.

    A blind man came to see fair play,

    A dumb man came to shout "Hooray !"

    Back to back they faced each other,

    Drew their swords and shot each other.

    Another:

    Late last night in the middle of the day

    Two dead boys came out to play

    Back to back the faced each other

    Drew their swords and shot each other

    Two deaf policemen heard the noise

    Came to shoot the two dead boys

    If you do not believe this lie is true

    Ask the blind man, he saw it too.

    And....

    One fine day in the middle of the night

    Two dead boys got up to fight

    Back to back they faced each other

    Drew their swords and shot each other

    One was blind and the other couldn't see

    So they chose a dummy for a referee

    A blind man went to see fair play

    A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"

    A paralyzed donkey passing by

    Kicked the blind man in the eye

    Knocked him through a 9 inch wall

    Into a dry ditch and drowned them all

    A deaf policeman heard the noise

    And came to arrest the 2 dead boys

    If you don't believe this story's true

    Ask the blind man, he saw it, too!

    Last one......
