To see mad Tom of Bedlam Ten thousand miles I've traveled Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes To save her shoes from gravel
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 money
I 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 money
The spirits white as lightenin' Did on that journey guide me The sun did shake and the pale moon quake Wherever they did espied me
And 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 money
My 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 faeries
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 money
Tonight 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 louder
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 money
To see Mad Tom of Bedlam Ten thousand miles I've traveled Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes To save her shoes from gravel
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 money
