Bumblebee - Eric Andersen

Bumblebee - Eric Andersen
Oh why does the bumblebee fly
Oh why why people do die
Why's the wind blowing so high
Why why why
Oh see the grass and the great green tree
They are so pretty I believe
Grass has roots wind is free
And that's the way things are
Oh see the water run from the mountains so high
It flows in the land then runs dry
Comes from the rain all in the sky
Why why why
Oh I know a place where the cannonballs roll
And they hurt your body and they hurt your soul
Aren't even worth a pound of coal
Cause that's the way things are
Oh why does the bumblebee fly
Oh why why do people die
Why is the wind blowing so high
Why why why
Oh now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
We are all God's little sheep
And that's the way things are
Oh see the colt and the old gray mare
Like a babe she loves for its care
She can hear see and care
And that's the way things are
Oh children there is a game called war
It's a game that knows no rules or law
Child is killed against the wall
And nobody even cares at all
Oh why does one man love
And why does one man hate
Why do we learn too late
Why why why
Oh here is a dollar bill in my hand
It's made of paper nothing more
Funny how it makes people come to your door
And that's the way things are
Oh where has the brown thrush gone
And why can't we hear his song
What's the difference of right from wrong
Why why why
Oh why does the bumblebee fly
Oh why why do people die
Why is the wind blowing so high
Why why why
Why is the wind blowing so high-oh
Why why why
Cause that's the way things are
