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' new
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 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, cannot 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
