The Levellers
Day Song: revised sgs version
1. All: We fought
for world where all people could be free, We fought in the Civil War
Tenors: To end the power of the King and Lords,
Others: ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
All: Let Parliament rule for all,
Bass: As the war went on the rules seemed
to change and the generals words were lies,
Others: Levellers marching, levellers marching,
levellers marching, ooh
Sops: We gathered and grew, one thousand strong
Others: We shall not give up the fight, we
shall not give the fight,
All: One man one vote our cry, One man, one
vote our cry
|
2. All: Together
we marched with hope in our hearts, our flag as green as the sea
Tenors: But we'd not agree to the Irish killing
spree,
Others: ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
All: As to Oxford we made our way.
Bass: We stopped for a rest, and Cromwell
sent his man, in Burford we were besieged.
Others: Levellers marching, levellers marching,
levellers marching, ooh
Sops: Three days without water, our hopes
were gone,
Others: We shall not give up the fight, we
shall not give the fight,
All: Then Fairfax shot us dead, He shot three
levellers dead
3. All: We were known as the levellers, a
name for which we're proud, equality for all our creed,
Tenors: The levellers we were then, and levellers
we are now,
Others: ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
All: On the side of those in need,
Bass: We sing for justice for those who have
no voice, we sing for the good of all,
Others: Levellers marching, levellers marching,
levellers marching, ooh,
Sops: We join in the demos, we stand in the
line,
Others: We shall not give up the fight, we
shall not give the fight,
All: The struggle carries on. The levellers
carry on.
