John Ball, by Sydney Carter

Who will be the lady, Who will be the lord, When we are ruled By the love of another? Tell me, Who will be the lady, Who will be the lord, In the light that is coming In the morning.

Chorus

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 light that is coming

In the morning.

Eve is the lady, Adam is the lord, When we are ruled By the love of another, oh it's Eve is the lady, Adam is the lord, In the light that is coming In the morning.

Chorus

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 light that is coming In the morning.

Chorus

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 light that is coming In the morning.

Chorus (3x)
