Boys of Bedlam

For to see mad Tom of Bedlam
 Ten thousand miles I'd travel
 Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
 For to save her shoes from gravel
 Still I sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
 Bedlam boys are bonnie
 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 get me food one morning
 And there I got souls piping hot
 All on the spit a-turning
 Still I sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
 Bedlam boys are bonnie
 For they all go bare and they live by the air
 And they want no drink nor money
 Me staff has murdered giants
 And me bag a long knife carries
 For to cut mince pies from children's thighs
 With which to feed the fairies
 Still I sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
 Bedlam boys are bonnie
 For they all go bare and they live by the air
 And they want no drink nor money
 This spirit's white as lightning
 Would on me travels guide me
 The moon would shake and the stars would quake
 When ever they espied me
 Still I sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
 Bedlam boys are bonnie
 For they all go bare and they live by the air
 And they want no drink nor money
 And when that I have murdered
 The man in the moon to a powder
 His staff I'll break and his dog I'll shake
 And there'll howl no demon louder
 Still I sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
 Bedlam boys are bonni
 For they all go bare and they live by the air
 And they want no drink nor money
 For to see mad Tom of Bedlam
 Ten thousand years I'd travel
 Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
 For to save her shoes from gravel
 Still I sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
 Bedlam boys are bonnie
 For they all go bare and they live by the air
 And they want no drink nor money
