Thread Name: Tom of Bedlam
Subject: RE: Tom of Bedlam
I should have stated that my message referred to the song just previous to it, "Forth from my sad....", which is called "New Mad Tom O' Bedlam" on the broadside copies. Credit where credit is due also: Most of my information is from Claude M. Simpson's 'The British Broadside Ballad and Its Music', 1966. Note also another 'Belamite' song accompanies the "New Mad Tom" on broadsides issues.
