This is a
traditional camping rhyme and sung either
alone or as a
verse in the
song I'm Going Crazy.
I first heard it while on a trip with my aunt and cousins. My aunt was a scout leader for the Girl Scouts. We sang a lot of silly songs while on the road. There are many minor variations around, and this is the one I learned.
One bright 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
the deaf policeman heard the noise
and came to shoot the two dead boys
if you don't believe my story's true
go ask the blind man, he saw it too
