In 1649To St George's HillA ragged band they called the DiggersCame to show the people's willThey defied the landlordsThey defied the lawsThey were the dispossessedReclaiming what was theirs'We come in peace' they said'To dig and sowWe come to work the lands in commonAnd to make the waste grounds growThis earth dividedWe will make wholeSo it will beA common treasury for allThe sin of propertyWe do disdainNo man has any right to buy and sellThe earth for private gainBy theft and murderThey took the landNow everywhere the wallsSpring up at their commandThey make the lawsTo chain us wellThe clergy dazzle us with heavenOr they damn us into hellWe will not worshipThe God they serveThe God of greed who feeds the richWhile poor men starveWe work, we eat togetherWe need no swordsWe will not bow to the mastersOr pay rent to the lordsWe are free menThough we are poorYou Diggers all stand up for gloryStand up nowFrom the men of propertyThe orders cameThey sent the hired men and troopersTo wipe out the Diggers' claimTear down their cottagesDestroy their cornThey were dispersedBut still the vision lingers onYou poor take courageYou rich take careThis earth was made a common treasuryFor everyone to shareAll things in commonAl people oneWe come in peaceThe orders came to cut them down

One of the best cover versions ever...

Love Billy's singing. He's in the tradition of Seeger, Ochs and Guthrie. What a powerful version, but it was written by follow Brit revolutionary Leon Rosselson (Copyright 1981)

Boom! Back To The 80s!

Why in these little thoughts of ours... you cannot help yourselves to pop in something negative or a big swear word. If you haven't got anything nice to say what do you really want to say? Also you're stopping responsible parents letting their children loose on you tube, shame no?

Tears of unity! Love Billy Brag! x

Dick Gaughan's version is better but it's an amazing song

Josh Brookshire

In 1649 Gerrard Winstanley and 14 others published a pamphlet [2] in which they called themselves the "True Levellers" to distinguish their ideas from those of the Levellers. Once they put their idea into practice and started to cultivate common land, both opponents and supporters began to call them "Diggers". The Diggers' beliefs were informed by Winstanley's writings which envisioned an ecological interrelationship between humans and nature.

Chumbas versions, The Diggers Song...........'You noble diggers all, stand up now stand up now.' The World Turned Upside Down........'Through eating too much supper before I went to bed' The song Billy is singing was written by Leon Rosselson, not the exact same song.
