droning E
[verse]:
In sixteen forty nine to St George's Hill
A Ea ragged band they called the Diggers came to show the peoples'
will
E Bthey defied the Landlords, they defied the laws
A B Ethey were the dispossessed, reclaiming what was theirs
E B
"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
A B Eso it will be a common treasury for all
the sin of property, we do disdain
A Eno man has any right to buy and sell the earth for private gain
E Bby theft and murder they took the land
now everywhere the walls spring up at their command
E B
they make the laws to chain us well
the clergy dazzle us with heaven or they damn us into hell
E Bwe will not worship the god they serve
A B Ethe god of greed who feeds the rich while poor man starve
E B
we work, we eat together we need no swords
A Ewe will not bow to the masters or pay rent to the lords
we are free men, though we are poor
A B Eyou diggers all stand up for glory stand up now
from the men of property, the orders came
A Ethey sent the hired men and troopers to wipe out the Diggers'
claim
E Btear down their cottages, destroy their corn
A B Ethey were dispersed, but still the vision lingers on
E B
you poor take courage, you rich take care
A Ethis earth was made a common treasury for everyone to share
all things in common, all people one
A B Ewe come in peace, the orders came to cut them down
