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!
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.
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.

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).
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)
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.
+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.
+lolo9999ization I'm from America and just found it. Some of us just listen to alot of traditional music. Don't assume things. :) It's not particularly high culture, either,it's the culture of the true and greatest people, the commoners. :)
I can imagine irish tough guys with long beards and hair in the middle ages siting in an inn drinking ale,singing this song just before a bar fight starts.
Sounds like a good read. Thanks for the information and double thanks for mentioning about TH-cam and links, i would have made that mistake sooner or later if you didn't mention it
Wast thinking that stronghold 3 was a step back from 2, but the music is better so maybe there is hope after all for more patches on the rest of the bugs.
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.
I bet this is what my men sang :O! when I was putting them outside the enemies walls setting up the siege equipment. They sang and ready for a bloody siege >:D as mah trepuches loaded up the battering ram made its way to the gates and the siege tower was loaded up.!

I went down to Satan's kitchen! To break some food one morning!, And there I got souls piping hot, All on the spit a-turning.! Chorus There I took 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 To cut mince pies from children's thighs For which to feed the fairies.!
For to see Mad Tom of Bedlam Ten thousand miles I traveled Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes To save her shoes from gravel.

Alternative Corus While I do sing, any food Feeding drink or clothing? Come dame or maid, be not afraid, Poor Tom will injure nothing."While I do sing" can alternate with "And I do Sing", "But I do sing", "Although I sing", "Yet I do sing". Another Alternative Corus But I will find Bonny Maud, merry mad Maud And seek whate'er betides her Yet I will love beneath or above The dirty earth that hides her. I went down to Satan's kitchen To break my fast one morning And there I got souls piping hot All on the spit a-turning. There I took a cauldron Where boiled ten thousand harlots Though full of flame I drank the same To the health of all such varlets. My staff has murdered giants My bag a long knife carries To cut mince pies from children's thighs For which to feed the fairies. No gypsy, 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.
Lyrics on Wikipedia article about the poem of Mad Tom of Bedlam. Very interesting origins. If you have a good ear for accents maybe someone can pick up the stanzas used and place them in correct order for this particular version.

That WAS the finished product! I think they really meant it to be a "sandbox" game in a sense.
You know they were forced by publisher to release it early? That's why it's unfinished.

@@NO122221 yeah but that's not because of the money but because the 3D engine isn't very acurate for such a game.
Such an awesome version of this song. I get mad everytime it cuts out as enemies arrive

I'd love to sit there in a good 'ol English pub somewhere in Cornwall, ale in hand, and listen to a bunch of pissed locals singing this
I volunteer for that

CAN'T PLACE THAT THERE, MILORD
For to see Mad Tom of Bedlam
Ten thousand miles I traveled
Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes
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.
Alternative Corus While I do sing, any food Feeding drink or clothing? Come dame or maid, be not afraid, Poor Tom will injure nothing."While I do sing" can alternate with "And I do Sing", "But I do sing", "Although I sing", "Yet I do sing".
Another Alternative Corus But I will find Bonny Maud, merry mad Maud And seek whate'er betides her Yet I will love beneath or above The dirty earth that hides her.
I went down to Satan's kitchen
To break my fast one morning
And there I got souls piping hot
All on the spit a-turning.
There I took a cauldron

My staff has murdered giants
My bag a long knife carries
To cut mince pies from children's thighs
For which to feed the fairies.
No gypsy, slut or doxy
Shall win my mad Tom from me
I'll weep all night, with stars I'll fight
