No. The most precise one says "he's carrying his bowels in his hands, his stomach in his hat and his heart is covered by his coat" but none tells how it happened . There's an interesting collection of France versions + one from Switzerland and one from Quebec here with a midi for each. The non-French versions have been literally translated into French and just a couple of lines are in the original language.
