From the recording The Bee Charmer`s Charmer
There was a blind man that lived across the way from my family`s home when I was growing up. He was a Bee Keeper. I was very impressed. He sometimes let me watch when he collected the honey from the hive.Years later I drew upon those times when I began to compose the song...it guided me.
Lyrics
Blind man told me when I was young, said"I see ya know how to handle`em"
Now I`m a Bee Charmer`s Charmer, ain`t never been stung, and honey, I know where to find me some
Just reach in the hollow of a tall dead oak, they swarm all over me like a buzz`in overcoat
Now I`m a Bee Charmer`s Charmer, and that ain`t no braggin' bet, I don`t fear`em none , but some folks be scared to death
I know you been savin' me your empty mason jar, I know you been cravin' some liquid amber
Now I`m a Bee Charmer`s Charmer, love my honey comb, gonna bake me some corn bread now mama, when you taste what I brought home
