The couplet is most famous for being the title of the sermon John Ball gave to the disafftected during the Peasants Revolt in 1381. It may be older than that though. There do not seem to be any further lyrics attached to the original couplet, but Dr Strangely Strange (a progressive folk rock band a la Fairport Convention) recorded a song called "When Adam Delved" in 1970.
