Correct lyrics: To find my Tom of Bedlam Ten thousand years I traveled Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes To save her shoes from gravel. - Chorus: 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 now reprent that ever Poor Tom was so disdain-ed My wits are lost since him I crossed Which makes me thus go chained. - Chorus I went to Pluto's kitchen For the break some food one morning And there I got souls piping hot All on the spit a-turning. - Chorus Ha-Ha! There I took up a cauldron Where boiled ten thousand harlots Though full of flame I drank the same To the health of all such varlets. - Chorus - My staff has murdered giants My bag a long knife carries For the cut mince pies from children's thighs With which to feed the fairies. - Chorus A spirit hot as lightening Did on that journey guide me The sun did shake and the pale moon quake As soon as e'er they spied me. - Chorus Ah-Hahaha No gypsy, slut or doxy Shall win my Mad Tom from me And I'll weep all night, with the stars I'll fight The fray shall well become me. - Chorus - So drink to Tom of Bedlam Go fill the seas in barrels And I'll drink it all, well brewed with gall And maudlin drunk I'll quarrel. - Chorus (x2)

This game really is a memorable one, and it would be if creators took their time to completely finish the game's development instead of publishing an unfinished project.

[@magnuschristianssen8999]

That WAS the finished product! I think they really meant it to be a "sandbox" game in a sense.

[@skapik_j]

You know they were forced by publisher to release it early? That's why it's unfinished.

[@apfelkuchen4399]

The game was developed during the financial crisis of 2008 and their investor got broke, they were forced to release their unfinished product. In this time they got the idea to publish their products without investors. So they first started Stronghold Kingdoms to collect money for other products like Crusader 2 and Warlords. They're a small independent studio with a small budget. They haven't Microsofts money like the Age of Empires series.

@@apfelkuchen4399 and they somehow made crusaders 2 worse.

@@NO122221 yeah but that's not because of the money but because the 3D engine isn't very acurate for such a game.

You put this in the background, and the desk infront of you behomes a hand-made bench, the room becomes cramped and candle lit, the air is heavy with onion and ale and the hot breath from a drunk soldier runs into your back. It's just so damn fun to listen to, I want to pick up a jar of beer and hit it against the table to the beat of the song!

[@fraunburger1]

You don't have to be English or Irish to enjoy a good drinking song, you don't even have to be drunk or a lush. You just have to have the spirit within ya! And this song certainly shares that spirit wide.

BE ADVISED: the melody & bulk of the lyrics were composed & researched in the 1960s by "The Halliard" (Nic Jones, Dave Moran & Nigel Paterson), (copyright Mollie Music). The text was first published in Thomas D'Urfey's "Pills to Purge Melancholy" (1720).

[@Samiullah-xx3sb]

Thank you Firefly for all of Stronghold games especially the classic one, you made my childhood, teenage and now my late 20's incredible, there is just no other game that can reach to the level of Stronghold. The top 5 Stronghold of all time in my opinion are. 1. Stronghold Classic 2. Stronghold Crusader 3. Stronghold 2 4. Stronghold 3 5. Stronghold Crusader 2 (I am playing this one these days). THANK YOU FIREFLY STUDIOS.

The first thing I noticed after playing SH3 for the first time, is that the music is extremely awesome compared to the other SH's (although they're nice too)

[@lolo9999ization]

That's what is called "high culture". There's simply no way a usual person can discover this song and learn about its background. Unless you've played Stronghold 3, of course.

Lol I found this by looking up Tom O'bedlam. never heard of this game

[@gamergirl5522-w1v]

+lolo9999ization It's a song about what people said in Bedlam Asylum... It's a famous English folk song. I heard it from my cello teacher. I don't even know what this game is.

[@prabhjot780]

[@Electracion]

This song is mainly taken from the old English ballad Tom o' Bedlam written circa 1600. Parts of the song are also taken from Mad Maudlin's Search another ballad written in response to Tom o' Bedlam. It is in reference to beggars that would claim to be Mad Tom a Bedlamite who was wrongfully treated and sent out to make his way begging.
