[Verse 1: Johnny Cash]
Well, I see you lost your honey bee
I know how you must be feeling now
You feel sad, sad but, boy, it ain't that bad

[Refrain: Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash]
You cry just a little bit and die just a little bit and
Then you'll be all right

[Verse 2: Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash]
Well, you know (Well, you know) it wasn't long ago
Your honey bee (Your honey bee) was queen of my bee tree
But then away she flew and took my honey to you

[Refrain: Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash]
You cry just a little bit and die just a little bit and
Then you'll be all right

[Verse 3: June Carter Cash]
I pity you, I know what you're going through
You watched your queen bee fly, your honeycomb went dry
But if you keep pushin' on, you won't care if she's gone

[Refrain: Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash, Johnny Cash]
You cry just a little bit and die just a little bit and
Then you'll be all right
I said, you cry just a little bit and die just a little bit and
Then you'll be all right
