For to see Mad Tom of Bedlam

Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
A#m G# A#m
For to save her shoes from gravel.

And they want no drink nor money.

To the health of all such varlets

A#m G# Fm Cm
My staff has murdered giants

My bag a long knife carries

For to cut mince pies from children's thighs

And feed them to the fairies

A#m G# Fm Cm
The spirits white as lightening
A#m G# A#m
Would on me travels guide me

The stars would shake and the moon would quake
A#m G# A#m
Whenever they espied me
[Chorus]

And there'll howl no demon louder

No gypsy, slut or doxy
