1
To see mad tom of bedlam
2
Ten thousand miles I've travelled
3
Mad maudlin goes on dirty toes
4
To save her shoes from gravel
5
So well that we sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
6
Bedlam boys are bonnie
7
For they all go bare and they live in the air
8
And they want no drink nor money
9
I went down to satan's kitchen
10
For to break my fast one morning
11
And there I got souls piping hot
12
All on the spits a-turning
13
So well that we sing sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
14
Bedlam boys are bonnie
15
For they all go bare and they live in the air
16
And they want no drink nor money
17
A spirit hot as lightening
18
Did on that journey guide me
19
The sun did shake and the pale moon quake
20
Wherever they did spy me
21
And it's well that we sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
22
Bedlam boys are bonnie
23
For they all go bare and they live in the air
24
And they want no drink nor money
25
My staff has murdered giants
26
And my pack a long knife carries
27
For they slice mince pies from children's thighs
28
For which to feed the faeries
29
So well that we sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
30
Bedlam boys are bonnie
31
For they all go bare and they live in the air
32
And they want no drink nor money
33
Tonight I'll go a murdering
34
Tthe man in the moon to a powder
35
His dog I'll shake and his staff I'll break
36
And I'll howl a wee bit louder
37
So well that we sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
38
Bedlam boys are bonnie
39
For they all go bare and they live in the air
40
And they want no drink nor money
41
To see mad tom of bedlam
42
Ten thousand miles I've travelled
43
Mad maudlin goes on dirty toes
44
To save her shoes from gravel
45
So well that we sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys
46
Bedlam boys are bonnie
47
For they all go bare and they live in the air
48
And they want no drink nor money
