lyrics

Who'll be the Lady and who'll be the Lord
When they are met in the love of one another?
Who'll be the Lady and who'll be the Lord
In the light that's coming in the morning?

Sing John Ball, tell it to them all
Long be the day that's dawning
We'll crow like a cock and we'll carol like a lark
For the light that's coming in the morning.

Eve is the Lady and Adam is the Lord
When they are met in the love of one another
Eve is the Lady and Adam is the Lord
In the light that's coming in the morning

All shall be met in the fellowship I say
All shall be met in the love of one another
All shall be met in the fellowship I say
In the light that's coming in the morning

Labour and spin for the fellowship you're in
Labour and spin for the love of one another
Labour and spin for the fellowship you're in
In the light that's coming in the morning.
