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 dreams, 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 has found, has found
