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 morning

And there I got souls piping hot

All on the spits a-turning

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

These spirits white as lightning

Did on that journey guide me

The sun did shake and the pale moon quake

Whenever they did spy me

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

(guitar solo)

Tonight I'll go a-murdering

The man in the moon to a powder

His staff I'll break and his dog I'll shake

And I'll howl a wee 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!

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
