To find my Tom of Bedlam, Ten thousand years I'll travel; Mad Maudlin goes with dirty toes To save her shoes from gravel. Yet will I sing, Bonny boys, Bonny mad boys, Bedlam boys are bonny; They still go bare, And live by air, And want no drink or money. |
A song of the bedlam boys and mad maudlins, the former inmates of the Bethlehem Hospital for the Insane in London, who wandered around the country eking out a living as best they could. |
