To find my Tom of Bedlam
Ten thousand years I'd travel
Mad Maudlin goes with dirty toes
For to save her shoes from gravel
Yet still I sing bonnie boys bonnie mad boys
The Bedlam boys are bonnie
They all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money
Went down to Satan's kitchen
For to buy some food one morning
And there I got souls piping hot
Which on the spit were turning
Yet still I sing bonnie boys bonnie mad boys
The Bedlam boys are bonnie
They all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money
And I'll repent that ever
Poor Tom was so disclaimed
My wits I've lost since him I crossed
Which makes me thus go chained
Yet still I sing bonnie boys bonnie mad boys
The Bedlam boys are bonnie
They all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money
And I'll repent that ever
Poor Tom was so disclaimed
My wits I've lost since him I crossed
Which makes me thus go chained
Yet still I sing bonnie boys bonnie mad boys
The Bedlam boys are bonnie
They all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money
No gipsy s*ut or dark sea
Shall steal my madder Tom from me
I'll weep all night and with stars fight
The fray will well become me
Yet still I sing bonnie boys bonnie mad boys
The Bedlam boys are bonnie
They all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money
Yet still I sing bonnie boys bonnie mad boys
The Bedlam boys are bonnie
They all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money
The spirit's as hot as lightning
Did on my travels guide me
The sun did shake and the pale moon quake
When ever doth they spied me
Yet still I sing bonnie boys bonnie mad boys
The Bedlam boys are bonnie
They all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money
And when that I have beaten
The man in the moon to powder
His dog I'll take and him I'll make
I will ask no demon louder
Yet still I sing bonnie boys bonnie mad boys
The Bedlam boys are bonnie
They all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money
To find my Tom of Bedlam
Ten thousand years I'll travel
Mad Maudlin goes with dirty toes
For to save her shoes from gravel
Yet still I sing bonnie boys bonnie mad boys
The Bedlam boys are bonnie
They all go bare and they live by the air
And they want no drink nor money
