Eric Andersen - Bumblebee lyrics

(Chorus) Oh why does the bumblebee fly? Oh why oh why do people die? Whys the wind flying so high? Oh why, oh why, oh why? (Verse 1) Oh see the gra** and the great green tree They are so pretty, I believe Gra** has roots wind is free And thats 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 Oh why, oh why, oh why? I know a place where the cannonballs roll And they hurt your body and they hurt your soul Arent even worth a pound of coal Cause thats the way things are (Chorus) Oh why 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? (Verse 2) Oh now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep We are all Gods little sheep And thats 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 share And thats the way things are Oh children there is a game called war Its a game that knows no rules or law A Child is k**ed 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 Oh why, oh why, oh why? Oh here is a dollar bill in my hand Its made of paper, nothing more It's funny how it makes people come to your door And thats the way things are Oh where has the brown thrush gone And why can't we hear his song? Whats the difference of right from wrong Oh why, oh why, oh why? (Chorus) 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? Why is the wind blowin so high-oh... Oh why, oh why, oh why? Cause thats the way things are
