Who'll be the lady
Who'll be the lord
When we are met in another, one another
Who'll be the lady, Who'll be the lord
In the light that's coming, In the morning
Sing, John Bull and tell it to them all
Long live be 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

When we are met in another one another
Eve is the lady and Adam is the lord
In the light that is coming In the morning
Sing, John Bull and tell it to them all

And I'll crow like a cock I'll carol like a lark
For the light that is coming In the morning
Sing, John Bull and tell it to them all

A crow like a cock, a carol like a lark
For the light that's coming In the morning
Sing, John Bull and tell it to them all
Long live be the day that is dawning
A crow like a cock, a carol like a lark
For the light that's coming In the morning
Sing, John Bull and tell it to them all
Long live be the day that is dawning
A crow like a cock, a carol like a lark
For the light that's coming In the morning
Labour and spin
For fellowship I say

For fellowship you're in
And the light that is coming
In the morning
Sing, John Bull and tell it to them all
Long live be the day that is dawning
A crow like a cock, a carol like a lark
For the light that's coming In the morning
Sing, John Bull and tell it to them all
Long live be the day that is dawning
A crow like a cock, a carol like a lark
For 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
And the light that is coming
In the morning
Sing, John Bull and tell it to them all
Long live be the day that is dawning
A crow like a cock, a carol like a lark
For the light that's coming In the morning

Long live be the day that is dawning
A crow like a cock, a carol like a lark
For the light that's coming In the morning

Long live be the day that is dawning
A crow like a cock, a carol like a lark
For the light that's coming In the morning
Sing, John Bull and tell it to them all

For the light that's coming In the morning
Sing, John Bull and tell it to them all
Long live be the day that is dawning
A crow like a cock, a carol like a lark
For the light that's coming In the morning
