Major Barbara

Major
Major Barbara sits in the fields
And waits for her crops to grow
She sits in a chair
She made out of wood
So many, many years ago

Major, why don't they grow
You've given' them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow

She waits all day
And 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 fields
Tell me what do you see shinin' through

Major
Look after your fields
And your fields will look after you

Yes they do
Yes they do
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Major, why won't they grow
You've given' them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow
