    		Wasn't this reference to the bloke who led some rebellion and got hanged on Hampstead heath?

    		Yes, as is Jack Straw's Lane in Oxford. But the question, as phrased, is perfectly valid - it is his name, and it is in the song.

    		The other Jack Straw, along with Watt Tyler, was one of the ring leaders in the Peasant's Revolt of 1315. There's a pub named after him on Hampstead Heath because he's said to have made a speech from a hay wagon on that site. I expect he was more interesting than the current British Foreign Minister....
