Lyrics
It seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
He's got a smile that makes the lilacs wanna grow
He's got a way that makes the angels heave a
Sigh when they know little Joe's passin' by
Sometimes the cabin's gloomy and the table's bare
But then he'll kiss me and it's Christmas everywhere
Troubles fly away and life is easy go
Does he love me good?
That's all I need to know
Seems like happiness is just a thing called Joe
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 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 takin'
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 when my one true love I have found
