Comments: The most memorable part of the song appears about halfway and is usually thought of as a stand-alone song. Probably Leon Rosselson's best-known track, it is built around the words of Gerrard Winstanley, one of the founders of the 17th Century Diggers movement to claim back private land, and cultivate it for the common good.
