He hit the ground
The sound was SPLAT
The blood went spurting high
His friends were heard to say
"Oh what a pretty way to die!"
The rolled him up still in his chute
And poured him from his boots
And he ain't gonna jump no more

I think there must be a few versions of this, since I don't recall seeing the verse you posted before.
