about

Quoted text from "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd. Music & all other lyrics by Ingrid Elizabeth.

lyrics

“Place a beehive on my grave / And let the honey soak through / When I'm dead and gone / That's what I want from you / The streets of heaven are gold & sunny / But I'll stick with my plot and a pot of honey / Place a beehive on my grave / And let the honey soak through” / Shed no teardrops on my grave / Don't you cry for me / When I'm dead and gone / I'll be in good company / The King of Heaven is a real nice mister / But I'll stick with my Queen and ten thousand sisters / Shed no teardrops on my grave / Don't you cry for me / Dance a hambone on my grave / And pass the jug around / When I'm dead and gone / I said I wanna see you gettin' down / The harps in heaven are mighty sweet / But I'll take a / stomp and clap to a funky beat / Dance a hambone on my grave / And pass the jug around / “Place a beehive on my grave / And let the honey soak through”
