lyrics

Chorus: On Sunday will you come for a walk 'round Winter Hill?
Ten thousand came last Sunday, there's room for thousands still!

T' landman's locked the gate, sez you'll have to wait,
Yer leisure's less important than a grouse upon the plate,
I'll let the toffs run free, shooting merrily,
Ah sez, t' grouse has lived on that there moor, long 'for you and me

''Can't you read the sign? It sez all this land is mine!''
''Ah sez, a right of way is a right of mine and I'll fight for what is right!''
Coppers come in force, crouched behind the gorse
T' heather was a-bloomin' as we marched for a worker's cause!

Come spinners, miners, weavers, come all of you workers,
tie your boots and yomp the moor and liberate the land,
Common land privatised, right before your eyes
Our birthright it was poached by the devil's greedy claw
