A Sleepin’ Bee

Lyrics

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
