lyrics

For to see my Tom of Bedlam, ten thousand miles I'd travel
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes, to save her shoes from gravel.

Still I'll sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys,
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live by the air,
And they want no drink nor money.

I went down to Satan's kitchen, for to beg me food one morning
And there I got souls piping hot, all on the spit a turning.

Spirits white as lightning, shall on my travels guide me
The moon will quake and the stars will shake, whenever they espie me.

No cunning slut nor doxy, shall win my Mad Tom from me
I'll weep all night, the stars I'll fight, the fray will well become me.

And when that I have murdered, the Man-In-The-Moon to powder
His staff I'll break, his dog I'll shake, there'll howl no demon louder.

So drink to Tom of Bedlam, he'll fill the seas in barrels
I'll drink it all, and brewed with gall, with Maudlin I will travel.
