When I first saw the Bumble-bee
Mumma brought him home to me
A brown-eyed, black-haired baby boy
He filled my dreary life with joy
I dreamed that he belonged to me
And I called him Bumble-bee
Flyin' high - Oh Bumble-bee
Flyin' high - Just flyin' free
Hear my song I sing to you
Oh, Baby boy - I love you true
Well I got to my early teens
Full of plans and full of dreams
I left the Bumble-bee one day
It broke my heart to hear him say
"Sissy come back and play with me
I love you won't you stay with me?"
Flyin' high-Oh Bumble-bee
It's my time for flyin' free
Hear my song I sing to you
Baby boy-I love you true
I soon forgot the simple joys
With drinkin', drugs, fast toys and boys
A broken wreck I stumbled back
I craved the shelter of our shack
The world had done its worst to me
I had to save the Bumble bee
Flyin' high-Oh Bumble-bee
Flyin' high won't set you free
Hear my song boy I was wrong
I'm comin' home where I belong
I won't foget the day I came
Mumma's words were filled with pain
"Your brother's love for you was true
He left last week to follow you
Now you may hang your head and pray
Just like he did for you each day"
Oh Bumble-bee - I bleed for you
I pray the Lord will see you through
Spread your wings and fly away
Don't look back on yesterday
Live the life I never had
Don't look back and don't be sad
Flyin' high - Oh Bumble-bee
Flyin' high just flyin' free
Live the life I never had
Don't look back and don't be sad
Hear my song I sing to you
Baby boy I love you true
Oh Baby boy... I love you true...
