Sleepin' Bee lyrics

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

Just 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' moon,

and where the days go laughin' by, as love comes a callin' on you.

Sleep on bee, don't waken, I can't believe what just passed.

She's mine for the takin' I’m so happy at last.

Maybe I dreams, but she seems sweet golden as a crown

A sleepin' bee done told me, that I’ll walk with my feet off the ground

when my one true love, I has found.
