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

Major why won't they grow
You give them their 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 will 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 field
Tell me what do you see shining through
Major look after your fields
And your fields will look after you

Yes they do
Yes they do

Major look out in your fields
Tell me what do you see shinning through
Major look after your fields
And your fields will look after you

Yes they do
Yes they do
