stand up now, stand up now
you noble diggers all
stand up now
the wasteland 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 plows
stand up now, stand up now
with spades and hoes and plows
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 so profound
to cheat us of the ground
stand up now diggers all
