Ponderosa Bunchgrass Songtext
von The Oot n' Oots

A little girl born into the world
Three raccoons outside the door
Around the newborn child her family gathered round
The babe let loose a happy sound

They named her Ponderosa Bunchgrass
When she let loose that first laugh
A baby born with such sass
That Ponderosa Bunchgrass

On her first day of school she won some fame
Stood and told the class how she got her name
"It′s the climax vegetation of our ecology
"In our northern home the Okanagan Valley
"And if we're kind to this land it is what we′ll see
"So I couldn't be prouder what my parents named me"

Ponderosa Bunchgrass
Always made the class laugh
Walked along her own path
That Ponderosa Bunchgrass


One day a shy little boy called Ponderosa near
Asked her how she lived so free from fear
Ponderosa didn't have an answer waiting at the ready
So she held the boys hands and she breathed real steady
When she finally spoke this is what she said
And her words to him were like chocolate bread
She said "Brother in a way you are just like me
"Born like a snowflake so unique
"And if you have the courage to be true
"You′ll be different but at least you will be you
"And one more bright sun to light the way
"Will help turn hard work to child′s play"

Thus spoke Ponderosa Bunchgrass
Ponderosa Bunchgrass
Ponderosa Bunchgrass
That Ponderosa Bunchgrass

Ponderosa Bunchgrass
Ponderosa Bunchgrass
Ponderosa Bunchgrass
That Ponderosa Bunchgrass

Yeah Ponderosa Bunchgrass
Ponderosa Bunchgrass
Ponderosa Bunchgrass
That Ponderosa Bunchgrass
