Lyrics
A Sleepin' Bee
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you're in love and you are wonderin'
If he really is the one,
There's an ancient sign sure to 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 'til the end of time
Your true love you have won, have won
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 a mornin' dew
And where the days go laughin' by
As love comes a-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 walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love
I has found, has found
