π 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 does maintain and persons all defame
Stand up now, stand up now
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 to hold
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, stand up now
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 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 wisdomβs so profound to cheat us of the ground
Stand up now, stand up now
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 men in awe
That they no vision saw to maintain such a law
Stand up now, Diggers all
You noble diggers all stand up now
the waste land to maintain, seeing Cavaliers by name
Your digging does maintain and persons all defame
Stand up now, stand up now
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 to hold
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, stand up now
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 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 wisdomβs so profound to cheat us of the ground
Stand up now, stand up now
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 men in awe
That they no vision saw to maintain such a law
Stand up now, Diggers all
