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
Can´t believe what just passed
He´s mine for the takin´
I am happy at last
Maybe I dreams
But he seems
Sweet golden as a crown
A sleepin´ bee
Done told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love, I has found

Sleep on bee, don´t waken!
Cannot believe what just passed!

He´s mine for the takin´
I am happy at last
Maybe I dreams
But he seems
Golden as a crown
A sleepin´ bee
Done told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love, I has found!
