Hello

I am searching for the extra verses to Leon Rosselsons song The World Turned Upside Down sometimes known as 'The diggers'

These verses refer to the Poll Tax introduced in Scotland in the late 80's

All help appreciated?

thanks

Mj

Sorry Mikeyjoe, I've tried but no luck so far.
There are two versions on u-tube by Dick Gaugham and Utah Phillips.
Serch-'Rosselson' and you will find them, along with another Rosselson song sung by a fine old singer!
