The Diggers Song Chumbawamba

You noble diggers all stand up now, stand up now
You noble diggers all stand up now
The wasteland to maintain sing 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

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 sing cavaliers are bold
To kill you if they could and rights from you to hold
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 the are found
Their wisdom so profound to cheat us of our ground
Stand up now stand up now

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
