A Sleepin’ Bee (Live at the Bon Soir, Greenwich Village, NYC - Nov. 6, 1962)

[spoken]
Oh, thank you!
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen!
Alright?

[sung]
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 believе what just passed
He's mine for thе takin'
I am happy at last
Maybe I dreams
But he seems
Golden as a crown
A sleepin' bee told me
I will walk with my feet off the ground
When my one true love, I has found
