A Sleepin' Bee

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

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' dew



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'm so happy at last

Maybe I dreams, but he seems

Sweet 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 has found, has found
