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
With the mornin' dew
And 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 taken
I am happy at last

Maybe I dreams but he seems
Sweet golden as a crown
A sleepin' bee done told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground and

When my one true love
I has found

Sleep on bee, don't 'waken
Can not believe what just passed
He's mine for the taken
I am happy at last

Maybe I dreams but he seems
Golden as a crown
A sleepin' bee told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground

When my one true love
I has found
