My father's version had the brothers named John Andrew and Andrew John.
Regarding the above Josephus verse said to be recorded by Lonnie Donegan. In about 1956 he was at a ceilidh in Morris Blythman's house in Glasgow. A singer I do not know sang and led the whole company in an uproarious parody of church hymn singing, 'lining out' each line in the style of the Highland Wee Free Church of Scotland as follows.
Joe Weavis was a weekit (Scots for wicked) man

He stole his father's coffin lid
To make a henhouse door.
Dongean sang next - Grand Coolie Dam. I was not there but Morris played me [and many others] the tape.
