  • Dick's version is pure gold, but the song was written by Leon Rosselson. The inspiration was the struggles of The Diggers in the 17th century to settle on the common land in England and share what they grew, but the message is timeless and has no frontiers.

    Karen sings it with real spirit and, like all her other songs, like she really means it!

  • absolutely wonderful....but,is anyone aware of Dick Gaughan's version,from which this is derived? even more so,see/hear for yourself

  • This is a wonderful song & very much akin to the problems of today in Ireland.

    Landlordism & Imperialism exist in Ireland, that means to me that there's a lot of unfinished buisness. People today who own farms should not actually own them, they should be returned to those who are entitled.

    Nothing has changed & the fight goes on.

  • This song is amazing and even more amazing when she sings it.

  • Karen can sing the crap out of this song.
