Boys of Bedlam

Steeleye Span

For to see mad Tom of Bedlam Ten thousand miles I'd travel Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes For to save her shoes from gravel [Chorus] Still I sing bonnie boys, bonnie mad boys Bedlam boys are bonnie, For they all go bare and they live by the air And they want no drink nor money I went down to Satan's kitchen For to get me food one morning And there I got souls piping hot All on the spit a-turning [Chorus] Me staff has murdered giants And me bag a long knife carries For to cut mince pies from children's thighs With which to feed the fairies [Chorus] This spirit's white as lightning Would on me travels guide me The moon would shake and the stars would quake When ever they espied me [Chorus] And when that I have murdered The man in the moon to a powder His staff I'll break and his dog I'll shake And there'll howl no demon louder [Chorus] For to see mad Tom of Bedlam Ten thousand years I'd travel Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes For to save her shoes from gravel [Chorus] --- Boys of Bedlam - Steeleye Span
