BEDLAM BOYS
For to see my Tom of Bedlam, 10,000 miles I'd travel
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes, to save her shoes from gravel.
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, to break me fast one morning
And there I got souls piping hot, all on the spit a turning.
There I took a cauldron, Where boiled ten thousand harlots
Though full of flame I drank the same,
To the health of all such varlets.
My staff has murdered giants, my bag a long knife carries
To cut mince pies from children's thighs,
For which to feed the fairies.
No gypsy slut nor doxy, shall win my Mad Tom from me
I'll weep all night, with stars I'll fight,
The fray shall well become me.
So I drink to Tom of Bedlam, go fill the seas in barrels
I'll drink it all, all brewed with gall,
Mad Maudlin drunk I quarrel.
The Spirits white as lightning, shall on my travels guide me
The stars would shake and the moon would quake,
When'ere they espied me.
The Moon's my constant misstress, the lonely owl my marrow
The flaming drake and the night crow
Make me music to my sorrow.

One of the best renditions of this song. And I've seen A LOT of them.

[@jamesjackson3011]

Have you heard the Stick in the Wheel one?

[@linraenh3809]

@@jamesjackson3011 I have now! It's pretty great, thanks for the suggestion. One of my other favourites is the Jeana Leslie and Siobhan Miller version.

[@jamesjackson3011]

@@linraenh3809 I'll check those out too then. I'm just fascinated with this song

Poles and Irish: a killer combo!

[@PtrPdrPnk]

Skvělá muzika!!! Skvělý videoklip!!! Posílám pozdravy z Česka, z Plzně. Doufám, že k nám někdy přijedete.

[@TCWolf82]

Dobrosia rewelacja! Fajnie gra, jest power!! Super.
Teledysk generalnie bardzo fajny.

[@MR.HandyANDY]

beyond great.

[@NIGELPATERSONMUSIC]

BE ADVISED: the melody & bulk of the lyrics were composed & researched in the 1960s by "The Halliard" (Nic Jones, Dave Moran & Nigel Paterson), (copyright Mollie Music). The text was first published in Thomas D'Urfey's "Pills to Purge Melancholy" (1720).

Weird, Polish band playing an English song with an Irish Sound..... Works though.

[@TheGuerrillaPoet]

This is a great rendition of one of my favourite songs. Good on ya.
However, I think you should have had that young lass dance barefoot.

[@cihutka123]

wariaty :D

[@tatermister5045]

The last verse is from a different song. Tom o bedlam, the precorsor to this song. I'm trying to compile all the verses of this song I can find and I wonder whether to include this one.

[@MarcinKierul]

Znam Wariatów!!!! heheh
