The tune for "The Diggers' Song" it is not definately known, but was probably "Sound a Charge". What may have been "Sound A Charge" is B348 (Put in All) on my website, but B349, which dates from 1642, is another good possibility. We do not yet have very solid evidence for early variants of the "Put in All/ Chimney Sweep/Captain Kidd" tune complex. ("Touch and Go" was another name for "Sound a Charge")
