The Merry Wives Of Windsor - Bedlam Boys
Ten thousand miles i'd travel
Mad maudlin goes on dirty toes
For 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
For to beg my food one morning
And there i got souls piping hot
All on the spit a-turning
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
There i picked up a cauldron
Where boiled 10,000 harlots
Though full of flame i drank the same
To the health of all such varlets
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
Spirits white as lightning
Shall on my travels guide me
The moon would quake and the stars would shake
When'ere they espied me
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
It's when next i have murdered
The man-in-the-moon to powder
His staff i'll break, his dog i'll shake
They'll howl no demon louder
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
No gypsy slut nor doxy
Shall win my mad tom from me
I'll weep all night, the stars i'll fight
The fray will well become me
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
So drink to tom of bedlam
He'll fill the seas in barrels
I'll drink it all, all brewed with gall
With mad maudlin i will travel
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
*(in round)*
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
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
