Verse
G#m F# D#m A#m
For to see Mad Tom of Bedlam
G#m F# G#m
Ten thousand miles I've traveled
G#m F# D#m A#m
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
G#m F# G#m
For to save her shoes from gravel.
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb D#m
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
G#m F# G#m
Bedlam boys are bonny
G#m F# Fb D#m
For they all go bare and they live by the air
G#m F# G#m
And they want no drink nor money.
[Verse 2]
G#m F# D#m A#m
I went down to Satan's kitchen
G#m F# G#m
For to get me food one morning
G#m F# D#m A#m
And there I got souls piping hot
G#m F# G#m
All on the spit a-turning
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb D#m
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
G#m F# G#m
Bedlam boys are bonny
G#m F# Fb D#m
For they all go bare and they live by the air
G#m F# G#m
And they want no drink nor money.
[Verse 3]
G#m F# D#m A#m
And there I took up cauldron
G#m F# G#m
Where boiled ten thousand harlots
G#m F# D#m A#m
Though full of flame I drank the same
G#m F# G#m
To the health of all such varlets
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb D#m
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
G#m F# G#m
Bedlam boys are bonny
G#m F# Fb D#m
For they all go bare and they live by the air
G#m F# G#m
And they want no drink nor money.
[Verse 4]
G#m F# D#m A#m
My staff has murdered giants
G#m F# G#m
My bag a long knife carries
G#m F# D#m A#m
For to cut mince pies from children's thighs
G#m F# G#m
And feed them to the fairies
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb D#m
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
G#m F# G#m
Bedlam boys are bonny
G#m F# Fb D#m
For they all go bare and they live by the air
G#m F# G#m
And they want no drink nor money.
[Verse 5]
G#m F# D#m A#m
The spirits white as lightening
G#m F# G#m
Would on me travels guide me
G#m F# D#m A#m
The stars would shake and the moon would quake
G#m F# G#m
Whenever they espied me
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb D#m
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
G#m F# G#m
Bedlam boys are bonny
G#m F# Fb D#m
For they all go bare and they live by the air
G#m F# G#m
And they want no drink nor money.
[Verse 6]
G#m F# D#m A#m
And when that I'll be murdering
G#m F# G#m
The Man in the Moon to the powder
G#m F# D#m A#m
His staff I'll break, his dog I'll shake
G#m F# G#m
And there'll howl no demon louder
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb D#m
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
G#m F# G#m
Bedlam boys are bonny
G#m F# Fb D#m
For they all go bare and they live by the air
G#m F# G#m
And they want no drink nor money.
[Verse 7]
G#m F# D#m A#m
No gypsy, slut or doxy
G#m F# G#m
Shall win my mad Tom from me
G#m F# D#m A#m
I'll weep all night, with stars I'll fight
G#m F# G#m
The fray shall well become me
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb D#m
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
G#m F# G#m

[Verse 8]
G#m F# D#m A#m
So drink to Tom O’Bedlam
G#m F# G#m
Go fill the seas in barrels
G#m F# D#m A#m
I’ll drink it all well brewed with gall
G#m F# G#m
And Maudlin drunk we’ll quarrel
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb D#m
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
G#m F# G#m

[Verse 10]
G#m F# D#m A#m
Now I repent that ever
G#m F# G#m
Poor Tom was so disdain'd
G#m F# D#m A#m
My wits were lost when him I cross't
G#m F# G#m
Which makes me go thus chain'd
[Chorus]

[Verse 11]
G#m F# D#m A#m
My horn is made of thunder
G#m F# G#m
I stole it out of heaven
G#m F# D#m A#m
The rainbow there is this I wear
G#m F# G#m
For which I thence was driven
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb D#m
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
G#m F# G#m

[Verse 12]
G#m F# D#m A#m
And now that I have gotten
G#m F# G#m
D# lease than doomsday longer
G#m F# D#m A#m
To live on earth with some in mirth
G#m F# G#m
Ten whales shall ease my hunger
[Chorus]
G#m F# Fb D#m
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
G#m F# G#m
Bedlam boys are bonny
G#m F# Fb D#m
