Profile
Maudlin is searching for Tom after his release from an asylum, but she can never seem to find him no matter how long she searches. She's so focused on finding him, that she forgets to take care of herself.
Mad Maudlin and Tom o' Bedlam are based on two 17th century poems.
Mad Maudlin's Search

An outdated slur has been censored here, but is still present in the song.
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 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 one morning
And there I got souls 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
There I took up a cauldron
Where I boiled ten thousand harlots
Though full of flame I drank the same
To the health of all such varlets
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 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 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
This spirit's white as lightning
Would on me travels guide me
The moon would shake and the stars would quake
When ever 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
No *****, slut or doxy
Shall win my Mad Tom from me
I'll weep all night, with stars I'll fight
The fray shall well become 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
So to 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 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
Ten thousand years I'd travel
Mad Maudlin 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
