Songtext von Mad Tom Of Bedlam

To see Mad Tom of Bedlam Ten thousand miles I've travelled 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 popping hot All on the spits 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 They' spirits got hot as lightning Did on that journey guide me The sun did shake and the pale moon quake Wherever they did spy me Yet 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 to 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 go a murderin' The man in the moon to a powder His dog I'll shake and his staff I'll break 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 drink nor money To see Mad Tom of Bedlam Ten thousand miles I've travelled 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
