Major Barbara

Major Barbara sits in her fields

And waits for her crops to grow

She sits in a chair that she made outta wood

So many, 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 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, oh

Major, why won't they grow?

You've given them water and hope

Major, why won't they grow? Oh

Major

Look out in your fields

Tell me, what do you see shinin' through?

Major

Look after your fields

And your field will look after you

Yes, they will

Major, why won't they grow?

You've given them water and hope

Major, why won't they grow? Oh

Major

Look out in your fields

Tell me, what do you see shinin' through?

Major

Look after your fields

And your field will look after you

Yes, they will
