Honeybee

Walking down the trail what do I see What do I see but a honeybee And she said Mmmm won't you follow me I'll show you all you're meant to see Said mmm won't you follow me Follow me I'm your honeybee Walking down the trail what do I find But trailing vines of muscadine Little grapes so ripe and sweet I stop to eat and spit the seeds Mmmm says the honeybee Mmmm she says to me Walking down the trail what do I know In the shade where the red ferns grow The hummingbirds dodge to-and-fro From water sweet as tupelo Mind and time is ticking slow Walking down the trail what do I know Walking down the trail of sage and pine Old railroad's leaking turpentine This is how I waste my time This is how I heal my mind This is how I spend my life Walking round those longleaf pines Walking down the trail of sage and pine Old railroad's leaking turpentine This is how I waste my time This is how I heal my mind This is how I spend my life Walking round those longleaf pines
