The Diggers Song
You noble diggers all stand up now, stand up now
You noble diggers all stand up now
The wasteland to maintain seeing cavaliers by name
Your digging does maintain and persons all defame
Stand up now, stand up now
Your houses they pull down, stand up now, stand up now
Your houses they pull down, stand up now
Your houses they pull down to fright your men in town
But the gentry must come down, and the poor shall wear the crown
Stand up now, diggers all
The lawyers they conjoin stand up now stand up now
The lawyers they conjoin stand up now
To rescue they advise, such fury they devise
The devil in them lies and hath blinded both their eyes
Stand up now, stand up now
The businessmen arrange, stand up now, stand up now
The businessmen arrange, stand up now
The businessmen arrange, to bolster their exchange
Expand their moneyed range, and hasten climate change
Stand up now, diggers all
The pols themselves promote, stand up now, stand up now
The pols themselves promote, stand up now
The pols themselves promote, with bluster and a quote
They make you feel remote, and suppress your right to vote
Stand up now, stand up now
With all of you we stand, join in now, join in now
With all of you we stand, join in now
With all of you we stand, in union we'll expand
The fascists will disband, we'll remain here hand-in-hand
Join in now, diggers all
You noble diggers all stand up now
The wasteland to maintain seeing cavaliers by name
Your digging does maintain and persons all defame
Stand up now, stand up now
Your houses they pull down, stand up now, stand up now
Your houses they pull down, stand up now
Your houses they pull down to fright your men in town
But the gentry must come down, and the poor shall wear the crown
Stand up now, diggers all
The lawyers they conjoin stand up now stand up now
The lawyers they conjoin stand up now
To rescue they advise, such fury they devise
The devil in them lies and hath blinded both their eyes
Stand up now, stand up now
The businessmen arrange, stand up now, stand up now
The businessmen arrange, stand up now
The businessmen arrange, to bolster their exchange
Expand their moneyed range, and hasten climate change
Stand up now, diggers all
The pols themselves promote, stand up now, stand up now
The pols themselves promote, stand up now
The pols themselves promote, with bluster and a quote
They make you feel remote, and suppress your right to vote
Stand up now, stand up now
With all of you we stand, join in now, join in now
With all of you we stand, join in now
With all of you we stand, in union we'll expand
The fascists will disband, we'll remain here hand-in-hand
Join in now, diggers all
