"A Sleepin' Bee" lyrics

When a bee lies sleeping
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 morning moon
And where the days go laughing
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 taking
I am happy at last
Maybe I dreams
But he seems
Sweet golden as a crown
A sleeping 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 taking
I am happy at last
Maybe I dreams
But he seems
Golden as a crown
A sleeping bee
Done told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love, I has found!
