Telling the Bees
Big Big Train

My mother said 'Listen, son...

Your father's gone

Now the time has come

You must tell the bees he gave his life

Drape black cloth over the hives.'


Now I am the keeper

And the years passed by

Until the day that Jenny caught my eye

I walked over and I asked her for a kiss

Sweet taste of honey on her lips


Telling the bees, telling the bees


As old as these hills and old as the stones

I feel it down to my soul


And the bees were told

On the day we wed


Wild flower garlands

Draped our marriage bed

Now two years on, we have our son

The bees were told and we carry on


Telling the bees, telling the bees


As old as these hills and old as the stones

I feel it down to my soul


The joy is in the telling

The sorrow in the soul

Tears of happiness and sadness

Let them flow...


Telling the bees, telling the bees
