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

In the mornin' dew
And where the days go laughin' by
When love comes callin' on you


Sleep on, bee, don't waken
Can't believe what just passed

He's mine for the takin'
I am so happy at last


Maybe I dream but he seems sweet
And golden as a crown


A sleepin' bee done told me
I'll walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love I have found


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
In the mornin' dew
And where the days go laughin' by

When love comes callin' on you

Sleep on, bee, don't waken

Can't believe what just passed
He's mine for the takin'
I am so happy at last


Maybe I dream but he seems sweet
And golden as a crown


Sleepin' bee done told me
When I walk with my feet off the ground

When my one true love I have found
