[Intro]
Major Barbara
Major Barbara

[Verse 1]
Major Barbara sits in the field
And waits for her crops to grow
She sits in a chair that she made out of wood
So many, many years ago

[Refrain]
Major, why won't they grow?
You've given them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow?

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
Major, why won't they grow?
You've given them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow?
[Bridge]
Major, look out at your field
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
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Refrain]
Major, why won't they grow?
You've given them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow?
Oh

[Outro]
Major, look out at 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, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
