Bedlam Boys 04:30
For to see mad Tom of Bedlam 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 there and they live by the air And they want no drink nor money I went down to Satan's kitchen To get my food one morning And the souls I got were piping hot All on the spit a turning Still I sing bonnie boys... My staff has murdered giants And my bag a long knife carries For to cut mince pies from children's thighs With which to feed the fairies Still I sing bonnie boys... And when that I have murdered The man in the moon to a powder His staff I'll break His dog I'll shake And there'll howl no demon louder Still I sing bonnie boys... For to see mad Tom of Bedlam Ten thousand miles I'd travel Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes For to save her shoes from gravel Still I sing bonnie boys...

Now we are ready to head for the Horn (Way hey roll and go) Our boots and our clothes, boys, are all in the pawn (To me, rollicking randy dandy o') Heave a'paul, oh heave away (Way hey roll and go) The anchor's onboard and the cable's all stored (To me, rollicking randy dandy o') Soon we'll be whipping her out through the locks (Way hey roll and go) Where the pretty young girls all come down in their flocks (To me, rollicking randy dandy o') Heave a'paul, oh heave away... Come breast the bar bullies and heave her away (Way hey roll and go) For soon we'll be rolling her way down the bay (To me, rollicking randy dandy o') Oh heave away bullies, you parish-rigged bums (Way hey roll and go) Take your hands from your pockets and don't suck your thumbs (To me, rollicking randy dandy o') Heave a'paul, oh heave away... Soon we're bound for Vallipo Bay (Way hey roll and go) Get cracking me lads it's a hell of a way (To me, rollicking randy dandy o') Heave a'paul, oh heave away...

There were seven old gypsies came to our door They came brave and boldy-o And one sang high and the other sang low One sang a raggle taggle gypsy-o It was upstairs, downstairs the lady went Put on her suit of leather-o When there came a cry from around the door She's gone with seven old gypsies-o It was late that night when the lord came in Enquiring for his lady-o When a servant girl she said to the lord "She's gone with seven old gypsies-o" "Well bridle me, my bonnie bonnie mare My big horse isn't speedy-o And we will ride 'til I seek my bride She's gone with seven old gypsies-o" Well he rode East, he rode West He rode late 'til early-o 'Til he came across the riverside There he spied his lady-o "What makes you leave your house and your land? What makes you leave your money-o? How could you leave your newly wedded man? To go with seven old gypsies-o?" "What care I for your house and your land? What care I for your money-o? For tonight I'll sleep in a cold baron shed In the arms of a raggle taggle gypsy-o" There were seven old gypsies standing in a row None of them were lame or lazy-o And they came one night to the house of the lord And stole the heart of his lady-o

about

Mazy House Watchet, UK

We are born of Somerset where Mazy means mad, and the Ancient Mariner mourns the sea alongside Shantyman sailor, Yankee Jack.

Publicans, farmers and nomads, we came together in early 2015; some old friends, others new. We draw raw sounds and inspiration as a group of artists with individual journeys. Gigging, exploring and studying, from our home and across the world.
