A Sleeping Bee

If you find a shiny pearl
Inside a cantaloupe
It's a solemn sign
Your loves all you could ever, ever hope

When a bee lies sleeping
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 morning new
And where the days go laughing by
As love comes a-calling on you

Sleep on bee don't waken
Can't believe what just passed
He's mine for the taking
I'm so happy at last

Maybe I dreams, but he seems
Sweet golden as a crown

A sleeping bee done told me
I'll walk with my feet off the ground
Whеn my one true love
I has found
