Major Barbara Lyrics
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 hoe
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 hoe
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 hoe
Major, why won't they grow
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
You've given' them water and hoe
Major, why won't they grow
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
You've given' them water and hoe
Major, why won't they grow
Look out in your fields
Tell me what do you see shinin' through
Look after your fields
And your fields will look after you
Yes they do
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You've given' them water and hoe
Major, why won't they grow

This song shares a title with an old book. I read it, and I cant really see any connection between the two. Its not a particularly common title, so does someone have some insight I may have overlooked? I dont think its a coincidence that they have the same title.
