Oh there was a mad man And he had a mad wife They lived in london town. And they had children one, two, three And mad they were each one, brave boys Mad they were each one. Oh the father was mad The mother was mad The children were mad beside And they all jumped on to a mad mad horse And so madly they did ride, brave boys So madly they did ride. Well they rode all night And they rode all day Never one of them fell They rode so madly all of the way Til they came to the gates of hell, brave boys They came to the gates of hell. The Devil was glad for to see them so mad He kindly let them in. But he soon grew mad for to see them so glad He let them out again, brave boys He let them out again. Oh there was a mad man And he had a mad wife They lived in london town. Oh, And they had children one, two, three And mad they were each one, brave boys Mad they were each one.
