Slept by her and I dreamt of bees --nThat's all I can remember --nJust that I was stung a thousand times,nSo I woke, I dressed, and I left her.nnOh, American, I walked out the doornTo the wind and hillsides windingnI kissed her through that windowpane,nThen left the bees and she behind me.nnRise up, m'boy! No more mistakes!nPick the new road you'll be heading!nPack your one gun and leave tonight --nIt's a promise now; go on out and get it.nnStarted out; come back around.nTook to looking, guess what got found?nnCome by a man who was chopping trees;nI probably shouldn'ta asked it.nSaid, Whatcha gonna do with all that wood?nHe said, My business is in caskets. Good Lord!nnSo I wrapped myself in the next person I saw;nSaid, Lover, take me places.nSaid back, Boy, you are a pretty one,nBut you might just die a'chasing.nnO Spirits, woe is woeful me!nI'll do whatever's required:nI'll slit a throat; I'll kiss a throatnFor a little bit of finding. nnStarted out; come back around.nTook to looking, guess what got found?nnSo I walked back and forth, but mostly straight,nTill the house came back aroundnStood in the yard for forty more days,nThen went inside and lay me down.nnSo I slept by her and I dreamt of bees,nStinging me one by onenBut with each sting, I glowed a bit more;nThem bees was fillin me up with honey!nnWoke and I kissed my precious love;nA cool breeze in the pinenI said, Love, you're like an angel ship,nThen I laid back and died. nnI started out; come back around.nTook to looking, guess what got found?nnI started out; I come back around.nI took to looking, guess what got found?
