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 dream, 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 have found"
