๐ Lyrics
You noble Diggers all, stand up now, stand up now
You noble Diggers all, stand up now
The waste land to maintain, seeing Cavaliers by name
Your digging do disdain and your persons all defame
Stand up now, Diggers all
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 poor men in town
But the gentry must come down and the poor shall wear the crown
Stand up now, Diggers all
With spades and hoes and ploughs, stand up now, stand up now
With spades and hoes and ploughs, stand up now
Your freedom to uphold, seeing Cavaliers are bold
To kill you if they could and rights from you withhold
Stand up now, Diggers all
The gentry are all round, stand up now, stand up now
The gentry are all round, stand up now
The gentry are all round, on each side they are found
Their wisdom's so profound to cheat us of the ground
Stand up now, Diggers all
The lawyers they conjoin, stand up now, stand up now
The lawyers they conjoin, stand up now
To arrest you they advise, such fury they devise
But the devil in them lies, and hath blinded both their eyes
Stand up now, Diggers all
The clergy they come in, stand up now, stand up now
The clergy they come in, stand up now
The clergy they come in and say it is a sin
That we should now begin our freedom for to win
Stand up now, Diggers all
The club is all their law, stand up now, stand up now
The club is all their law, stand up now
The club is all their law to keep poor folk in awe
But they no vision saw to maintain such a law
Stand up now, Diggers all
Against the hate and fear, stand up now, stand up now
Against the hate and fear, stand up now
The press have closed their eyes, they spread the tyrants' lies
They'll tell you with their cries, who to love and to despise
Stand up now, Diggers all
You noble Diggers all, stand up now
The waste land to maintain, seeing Cavaliers by name
Your digging do disdain and your persons all defame
Stand up now, Diggers all
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 poor men in town
But the gentry must come down and the poor shall wear the crown
Stand up now, Diggers all
With spades and hoes and ploughs, stand up now, stand up now
With spades and hoes and ploughs, stand up now
Your freedom to uphold, seeing Cavaliers are bold
To kill you if they could and rights from you withhold
Stand up now, Diggers all
The gentry are all round, stand up now, stand up now
The gentry are all round, stand up now
The gentry are all round, on each side they are found
Their wisdom's so profound to cheat us of the ground
Stand up now, Diggers all
The lawyers they conjoin, stand up now, stand up now
The lawyers they conjoin, stand up now
To arrest you they advise, such fury they devise
But the devil in them lies, and hath blinded both their eyes
Stand up now, Diggers all
The clergy they come in, stand up now, stand up now
The clergy they come in, stand up now
The clergy they come in and say it is a sin
That we should now begin our freedom for to win
Stand up now, Diggers all
The club is all their law, stand up now, stand up now
The club is all their law, stand up now
The club is all their law to keep poor folk in awe
But they no vision saw to maintain such a law
Stand up now, Diggers all
Against the hate and fear, stand up now, stand up now
Against the hate and fear, stand up now
The press have closed their eyes, they spread the tyrants' lies
They'll tell you with their cries, who to love and to despise
Stand up now, Diggers all
