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
