Major Barbara
Major barbara sits in the fields
And waits for her crops to grow
She sits in a chair, that she made outta wood
So many many years ago
Major why won't they grow
You've given them water and hope
Major why won't they grow
She waits all day,
And she hopes through the night
For a new day that might show
A bright yellow sun
That'll make the crops come
And let the old days go
Major why won't they grow
You've given them water and hope
Major why won't they grow
Major... Look out in your feild
Tell me, what do you see shinin' through?
Major... Look after your fields
And your fields will look after you
Yes they do
Yeah they do
Yeah Yeah Yeah...
Major why won't they grow
You've given them water and hope
Major why won't they grow
Major... Look out in your fields
Tell me what do you see shinin' through
Major... Look after your fields
And your fields will look after you
Yes they do
Yeah they do
Yeah Yeah Yeah...
