| …Bonny mad boys
|
| Bedlam boys are bonny
|
| For they all go bare and they live by the air
|
| And they want no drink nor money…
|
| For to see Mad Tom of Bedlam
|
| Ten thousand miles I travelled
|
| Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
|
| For to save her shoes from gravel
|
| And still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| Bedlam boys are bonny
|
| I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| Bedlam boys are bonny
|
| I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| My staff has murdered giants
|
| And my bag a long knife carries
|
| When I cut mince pies from children’s thighs
|
| With which to feed
|
| Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| Bedlam boys are bonny
|
| I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| Bedlam boys are bonny
|
| I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| For they all go bare and they live by the air
|
| And they want no drink nor mony
|
| They all go bare and they liv by the air
|
| And they want no drink nor money
|
| Want no drink nor money
|
| They want no drink nor money
|
| They all go bare and they live by the air
|
| And they want no drink nor money
|
| I went down to Satan’s kitchen
|
| To get me food one morning
|
| And there I got souls piping hot
|
| All on a spit a-turning, turning, turning
|
| All on a spit a-turning
|
| All on a spit a-turning
|
| Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| Bedlam boys are bonny
|
| I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| Bedlam boys are bonny
|
| I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| Bedlam boys are bonny
|
| I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| Bedlam boys are bonny
|
| I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
|
| For they all go bare and they live by the air
|
| And they want no drink nor money
|
| They all go bare and they live by the air
|
| And they want no drink nor money
|
| They all go bare and they live by the air
|
| And they want no drink nor money
|
| They want no drink nor money
|
| Said they want no drink nor money |
