Lyrics for Summertime

Summertime, and the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin' So hush, little baby, don't you cry One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singin' Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky But 'til that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you With daddy and mammy standin' by Summertime, and the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high Oh, your daddy's rich, and your ma is good-lookin' So hush, little baby, don't you cry One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singin' Then you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky But 'til that morning, there's ain't nothin' can harm you With daddy and mammy standin' by
