John Ball

Sydney Carter

Who'll be the lady, who will be the lord 
When we are ruled by the love of one another 
Who'll be the lady, who will be the lord 
In the life that is coming in the morning 

Sing, John Ball and tell it to them all 
Long live the day that is dawning 
And I'll crow like a cock, I'll carol like a lark 
For the life that is coming in the morning 

Eve is the lady, Adam is the lord 
When we are ruled by the love of one another 
Eve is the lady, Adam is the lord 
In the life that is coming in the morning 
 
Sing, John Ball and tell it to them all 
Long live the day that is dawning 
And I'll crow like a cock, I'll carol like a lark 
For the life that is coming in the morning 

Labour and spin for fellowship I say 
Labour and spin for the love of one another 
Labour and spin for fellowship I say 
And the life that is coming in the morning 

Sing, John Ball and tell it to them all 
Long live the day that is dawning 
And I'll crow like a cock, I'll carol like a lark 
For the life that is coming in the morning 

All shall be ruled by fellowship I say 
All shall be ruled by the love of one another 
All shall be ruled by fellowship I say 
In the life that is coming in the morning 

Sing, John Ball and tell it to them all 
Long live the day that is dawning 
And I'll crow like a cock, I'll carol like a lark 
For the life that is coming in the morning
