There's a great mad-axeman version that surely deserves a mention, though I can only recall bits of it - anyone know the rest? I've been a mad-axeman for many a year, And I've killed lots of people and quite a few deer, I've tried killing babies, it's just not the same, They die far too quickly with not enough pain And it's NO NAY NEVER (chop off your head!) Will I play the mad-axeman, no never no more I went to an alehouse I used to frequent, I killed so many people my axe it got bent, They begged me for mercy, I answered them nay, ... [Bits missing from my memory] I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done, And I'll try not to kill them before half past one, If I should do so it'll be such a chore, For I'll have to wipe all of their blood off the floor And it's NO NAY NEVER (chop off your head!)etc
