Empty Hats - Tom Of Bedlam lyrics

(Hit it, boys!) To find my Tom of Bedlam Ten thousand years I travel Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes To save me shoes from gravel Still I sing bonny boys, 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 I now repent that ever Poor Tom was so disdain-ed My wits are tossed and semi-crossed Which makes me thus go chain-ed Still I sing bonny boys, 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 I went to Pluto's kitchen To beg some food one morning There I got souls spiking hot While on the spit a-turning Still I sing bonny boys, 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 There I took up a caldron Where I boiled ten thousand harlots Though still a-flame I drank the same With a health to all such varlets Still I sing bonny boys, 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 Me staff has murdered giants Me bag a long knife carries To cut mince pies from children's thighs With which to feed the faeries Still I sing bonny boys, 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 No gypsy, s*ut, or doxie Shall win me mad Tom from me I'll weep all night with the stars I'll fight The fray shall well become me Still I sing bonny boys, 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 So drink to Tom of Bedlam Fill all the seas and barrels I'll drink it all well brewed with gall And maudlin drunk I'll quarrel Still I sing bonny boys, 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 Still I sing bonny boys, 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
