Bedlam Boys

[Verse 1]
To see Mad Tom of Bedlam
Ten thousand miles I've travelled
Maudlin goes for dirty toes
Just to save her shoes from gravel

[Chorus]
Oh, will I sing, bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonnie
For they all go bare and they live in the air
And they want no drink or no money

[Verse 2]
I went to Pluto's kitchen
Just to break my fast one morning
It's there I got souls piping hot
That on the spit were turning

[Chorus]
Oh, will I sing, bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonnie
For they all go bare and they live in the air
And they want no drink or no money

[Verse 3]
My staff has murdered giants
And my pack a long knife carries
To cut mince pies from children's thighs
With which they feed the fairies
[Chorus]
Oh, will I sing, bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonnie
For they all go bare and they live in the air
And they want no drink or no money

[Verse 4]
Spirits white as lightning
Did on my journey guide me
The sun did shake, the pale moon quake
When e'er she did espy me

[Chorus]
Oh, will I sing, bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonnie
For they all go bare and they live in the air
And they want no drink or no money

[Verse 5]
No gypsy, slut nor doxy
Can take my Mad Tom from me
I'll dance all night and with stars fight
The fray it shall become me

[Chorus]
Oh, will I sing, bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonnie
For they all go bare and they live in the air
And they want no drink or no money
[Verse 6]
To see Mad Tom of Bedlam
Ten thousand miles I've travelled
Mad Maudlin goes for dirty toes
Just to save her shoes from gravel

[Chorus]
Oh, will I sing, bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonnie
For they all go bare and they live in the air
And they want no drink or no money
