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!
