Lyrics for A Sleepin' Bee

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' hue And where the days go laughin' by as love comes 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 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
