When a bee lies sleepin´
In the palm o´ your hand
You´re bewitch´d and deep in love´s
Long look´d after land
Where you´ll see a sun-up sky
With the mornin´ new
And where the days go laughin´ by
As love comes a-calling on you
Sleep on, bee, don´t waken,
Can´t believe what just passed
He´s mine for the takin´
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
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 takin´
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...
