droning E
[verse]:
In sixteen forty nine to St George's Hill
LA MIa ragged band they called the Diggers came to show the peoples'
will
MI SIthey defied the Landlords, they defied the laws
LA SI MIthey were the dispossessed, reclaiming what was theirs
MI SI
"we come in peace" they said, to dig and sow
we come to work the lands in common and to make the wastegrounds
grow
this earth divided, we will make whole
LA SI MIso it will be a common treasury for all
MI SI
the sin of property, we do disdain
LA MIno man has any right to buy and sell the earth for private gain
by theft and murder they took the land
LA SI MInow everywhere the walls spring up at their command
MI SI
they make the laws to chain us well
LA MIthe clergy dazzle us with heaven or they damn us into hell
we will not worship the god they serve
LA SI MIthe god of greed who feeds the rich while poor man starve
MI SI
we work, we eat together we need no swords
LA MIwe will not bow to the masters or pay rent to the lords
we are free men, though we are poor
LA SI MIyou diggers all stand up for glory stand up now
MI SI
from the men of property, the orders came
LA MIthey sent the hired men and troopers to wipe out the Diggers'
claim
MI SItear down their cottages, destroy their corn
they were dispersed, but still the vision lingers on
you poor take courage, you rich take care
LA MIthis earth was made a common treasury for everyone to share
MI SIall things in common, all people one
we come in peace, the orders came to cut them down
