JOHN BALL (Sidney Carter) PERMISSION TO INCLUDE THIS SONG HAS BEEN DENIED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER, STAINER AND BELL, LTD., THROUGH THEIR US AND CANADIAN ADMINISTRATOR, HOPE PUBLISHING CO. (800/323-1049) John Ball and Wat Tyler were the leaders of the Peasant's Revolt in England in 1381. John Ball was a hedge priest whose jingle "When Adam delved and Eva span, who was then the gentleman?" was the watchword of the revolt. The peasant mob met with the child king Richard II who promised them an end to serfdom. Either he didn't mean it or was overruled by his council. [SOF] @English @revolution filename[ JOHNBALL DSw |
