Who’ll be the lady, who will be the lord,
When we are ruled by the love of one another?
Who will be the lady, who will be the lord,
In the light 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,
And 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 one another,
Eve is the lady, Adam is the lord,
In the light that is coming in the morning.
Sing, John Ball etc
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.
Sing, John Ball etc
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.
Sing, John Ball etc x 2

Hey Mr Dreamseller, where have you been,
tell me have you dreams I can see?
I came along, just to bring you this song,
Can you spare one dream for me?
You won't have met me, and you'll soon forget,
so don't mind me tugging at your sleeve.
I'm asking you, if I can fix a rendezvous.
For your dreams are all I believe.
Chorus
Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on,
and I'll be there, I promise I'll be there.
Down the empty streets we'll disappear until the dawn
if you have dreams enough to share.
Lay down your bundles, of rags and reminders,
and spread your wares on the ground.
Well I've got time, if you deal in rhyme,
I'm just hanging around.
Chorus
Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on,
and I'll be there, I promise I'll be there.
Down the empty streets we'll disappear until the dawn
if you have dreams enough to share.
Hey Mr Dreamseller, where have you been,
tell me have you dreams I can see?
I came along, just to bring you this song,
Can you spare one dream for me?
A wager with you my pretty fair maid
Five hundred pounds to your ten
A maid you will go to the merry green broom
And a maid you’ll no longer return-o
A wager, a wager with you kind sir
Five hundred pounds to my ten
A maid I will go to the merry green broom
And a maid I will boldly return-o
The maiden she sat in her bower alone
She is in torment and strife
If I don’t go to the Broomfield this night
My love he won’t make me his wife-o
So up and she goes on her good white steed
Away for her young man to meet
She found him lain there and all fast asleep
With a blood red rose at his feet-o
She’s kissed him twice on cheek and on chin
Then over his body did lean
There she did place five rings on his chest
Just so he would know she had been-o
Then off through the woods the young maid did go
Just when her love did arise
He saw the five rings laid there on his chest
On his face was nought but surprise-o
A wager with you my pretty fair maid
Five hundred pounds to your ten
A maid you will go to the merry green broom
And a maid you’ll no longer return-o
A wager, a wager with you kind sir
Five hundred pounds to my ten
A maid I will go to the merry green broom
And a maid I will boldly return-o

I’ll have one man to mow me down my meadow
I’ll have two men to gather it all together
I’ll have two men, one man and one more
To mow me down my meadow, that grows before my door.
I’ll have three men to mow me down my meadow
I’ll have four men to gather it all together
I’ll have four men, three me, two men…etc up to ten!
Last time round sing:
I’ll have two men, one man and more
To mow me down…etc.

Will I ever see thee wed?

When I first came to this land
When I first came to this land,
I was not a wealthy man
So I got myself a shack,
I did what I could
And I called my shack, "Break my back"
For the land was sweet and good,
I did what I could
When I first came to this land,
I was not a wealthy man,
So I got myself a farm,
I did what I could
And I called my farm, "Muscle in my arm"
And I called my shack, "Break my back"
For the land was sweet and good,
I did what I could
Cow, "No milk now" - Duck, "Out of luck" - Wife, "Run for your life" - Son,
"My work done"
Oh, the summer time is coming,
And the trees are sweetly blooming,
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather.
Chorus:Will you go, lassie, go?
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather,
Will you go lassie, go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon clear and crystal fountain,
And on it I will pile
All the flowers of the mountain.
Chorus
If my true love, she won't have me,
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather.
Chorus
Oh, the summer time is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather.
Chorus
