A Sleepin' Bee

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...
