about

Dramatis Personae:
Mim: Mad Magdalen
Sue: Tom of Bedlam
Sophie: The Moon

lyrics

To find my Tom of Bedlam
Ten thousand years I'll travel
Mad Magdalen goes on dirty toes
to save her shoes from gravel
Yet will 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 now repent that ever
Poor Tom I so disdained
My wits are lost since him I crossed
Which makes me thus go chained
Yet will I sing ...

No gillot, slut or doxy
Shall win my mad Tom from me
I'll weep all night, the stars I'll fight,
The fray will well become me.
Yet will I sing ...
