Mad Tom of Bedlam Lyrics

To see mad Tom of Bedlam
Ten thousand miles I've traveled
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
To save her shoes from gravelIt's well that we sing Bonney boys
Bonney mad boys, Bedlam boys are bonney
For they all go bare and they live in the air
And they want no drink nor moneyI went down to Satan's Kitchen
For to break my fast one mornin'
And there I got souls pipin' hot
All on the spit a turnin'It's well that we sing Bonney boys
Bonney mad boys, Bedlam boys are bonney
For they all go bare and they live in the air
And they want no drink nor moneyThe spirits white as lightenin'
Did on that journey guide me
The sun did shake and the pale moon quake
Wherever they did espied meAnd It's well that we sing Bonney boys
Bonney mad boys, Bedlam boys are bonney
For they all go bare and they live in the air

And they want no drink nor moneyMy staff has murdered giants
And my pack a long knife carries
For the slice mince pies from children's thighs
From which to feed the faeriesIt's well that we sing Bonney boys
Bonney mad boys, Bedlam boys are bonney
For they all go bare and they live in the air
And they want no drink nor moneyTonight I'll gonna murderin'
The man in the moon to a powder
His dog I'll shake and his staff I'll break
And there'll howl a little bit louderIt's well that we sing Bonney boys
Bonney mad boys, Bedlam boys are bonney
For they all go bare and they live in the air
And they want no drink nor moneyTo see Mad Tom of Bedlam
Ten thousand miles I've traveled
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
To save her shoes from gravelIt's well that we sing Bonney boys
Bonney mad boys, Bedlam boys are bonney
For they all go bare and they live in the air
And they want no drink nor money
