For to see mad tom of bedlam 
 10, 000 Miles I'd travel 
 Mad mauldin goes on dirty toes 
 For to save her 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 went down to satan's kitchen 
 For to get me food this morning 
 And there I got soul's piping hot 
 All 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   
 My staff hath murdered giants 
 And my bag along I carries 
 I cut mince pies from children's thighs 
 With which to feed the fairies   
 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   
 My spirit's white as lightning 
 Would on my travels guide me 
 The moon would quake and the stars would shake 
 Whenever they espied 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   
 And when that I have murdered 
 The man in the moon to a powder 
 His staff I'll break and his dog I'll shake 
 And there'll howl no demon louder   
 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   
 For to see mad tom of bedlam 
 10, 000 Years I'd travel 
 Mad mauldin goes on dirty toes 
 For to save her 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
