Leave the Oil in the Ground

• Tune: 17th century melody arr. Kate Howard
• Words: Original words: Gerard Winstanley. New words: Jane Lewis

1. Leave the oil in the ground, sing out now, sing out now,
   Leave the oil in the ground, sing out now.
   For a future clean and fair, full of life for all to share
   We can show the world we care, no more car­bon in the air
   Leave the oil in the ground

2. Leave the gas beneath the sea, sing out now, sing out now,
   Leave the gas beneath the sea, sing out now,
   Lim­it change to one point five, let us keep our hope alive
   So all species may sur­vive, and togeth­er we may thrive
   Leave the gas beneath the sea

3. Leave the coal in the seam, sing out now, sing out now,
   Leave the coal in the seam, sing out now,
   Let us turn our plan­et green, mak­ing ener­gy that’s clean
   Sun and wind and tidal schemes, come let’s realise our dream
   Leave the coal in the seam 

4. You gen­tle peo­ple all sing out now, sing out now,
   You gen­tle peo­ple all sing out now
   This plan­et to main­tain, prof­i­teer­ing we disdain,
   Shame­less com­pa­nies we name, pub­lic own­er­ship we claim,
   Leave the oil in the ground
