lyrics
To see Mad Tom of Bedlam, ten thousand miles I've travelled
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes, just to save her shoes from gravel
And still I'll sing, bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live in the air,
And they want no drink or no money.
No gypsy lass no doxy, can take my Mad Tom from me.
I'll dance all night, the stars I'll fight, the fray it shall become me.
And still I'll sing, bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live in the air,
And they want no drink or no money.
So drink to Tom of Bedlam, ten thousand miles I've travelled
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes, just to save her shoes from gravel
And still I'll sing, bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
For they all go bare and they live in the air,
And they want no drink or no money.
