'The Cropper Lads' por Bill Price
Letra
1
Come, cropper lads of great renown,
Who love to drink good ale that’s brown,
And strike each haughty tyrant down
With ’atchet, pike and gun.
Chorus:-
The cropper lads for me,
And gallant lads they’ll be,
With lusty stroke the shearframes broke,
The cropper lads for me.
2
What though the specials still advance,
And soldiers nightly round us prance,
The cropper lads still lead the dance,
With ’atchet, pike and gun.
3
And night by night when all is still,
And the moon is hid behind the hill,
We forward march to do our will,
With ’atchet, pike and gun.
4
Great Enoch he shall lead the van,
Stop him who dares, stop him who can,
Press forward every gallant man,
With ’atchet, pike and gun.

Noche tras noche, cuando todo está quieto / Y la luna ya ha cruzado la colina / Marchamos a hacer nuestra voluntad / ¡Con hacha, piedra y fusil!”. Como las mazas que usaban los luditas provenían de la fábrica Enoch, cantaban: “La gran Enoch irá al frente/ Deténgala quien se atreva, deténgala quien pueda/ Adelante los hombre gallardos/ ¡Con hacha, pica y fusil!
'Forster's Mill' por Bill Price
Letra:
1
Come, all you croppers stout and bold,
Let your faith grow stronger still,
For the cropper lads in the county of York
Have brocken the shears at Foster’s Mill.
2
Around and around we all will stand
And sternly swear we will,
We’ll break the shears and the windows too
And we’ll all set fire to tazzlin’ mill.
3
The wind it blew and the sparks they flew,
Which alarmed the town full soon,
And out of bed poor folk did leave,
And they run bi the light o’ the moon.
4
Around and around they all did stand
And solemnly did swear,
Neither bucket nor kit nor any such thing
Should be of any assistance there.
5
All dark and dreary is the day
When men ’ave to feight for their bread;
Some judgment sure will clear the way
And the coach of triumph shall be led.
