Bumblebee

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh, why does the bumblebee fly? Oh why, oh why do people die? Why is the wind blowin' so high? Why, oh why, oh why? [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 Oh why, oh why, oh why? [Verse 4] 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 [Verse 5] Oh, why does the bumblebee fly? Oh why, oh why do people die? Why is the wind blowin' so high? Oh why, oh why, oh why? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 6] 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 [Verse 7] Oh, see the colt and the old gray mare Like a babe she loves it for its care So he can hear, see and share And that's the way things are [Verse 8] Oh children, there is a game called war It's a game that knows no rules or law A child is killed against the wall And nobody even cares at all [Verse 9] Oh, why does one man love And why does one man hate? Why do we learn too late? Oh why, oh why, oh why? [Verse 10] Oh, here is a dollar bill in my hand It's made of paper and nothin' more It's funny how it makes people come to your door And that's the way things are [Verse 11] Oh, where has the brown thrush gone And why can't we hear his song? What's the difference of right from wrong Why, oh why, oh why? [Instrumental Break] [Verse 12] Oh, why does the bumblebee fly? Oh why, oh why, do people die? Why is the wind blowin' so high? Why, oh why, oh why? [Verse 13] Why is the wind blowin' so high Ohhh Why, oh why, oh why? 'Cause that's the way things are
