A Sleepin’ Bee
When a bee lies sleepin' in the palm of your hand
You're bewitched and deep in love's long looked after land
Where you'll see a sun-up sky in the mornin' dew
Where the days go laughin' by as love comes callin' on you
Sleep on, bee, don't waken, can't believe what just passed
He's mine for the takin', I'm so happy at last
Maybe I dreams, but he seems sweet, golden as a crown
A sleepin' bee done told me
I'll walks with my feet off the ground
When my one true love I has found
When you're in love and you are wond'rin'
If he really is the one
There's an ancient sign should tell you
If your search is over and done
Catch a bee, and if he don't sting you
You're in a spell that's just begun
It's a guarantee to the end of time
Your true love you have won
Have won
Sleep on, bee, don't waken, can't believe what just passed
He's mine for the takin', I'm so happy at last
Maybe I dreams, but he seems sweet, golden as a crown
A sleepin' bee done told me
I'll walks with my feet off the ground
When my one true love I has found
