Lyrics for Summertime
Summertime and the living is easy Fish are jumping and the cotton is high Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-looking So hush, little baby, don't you cry One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing Yes, you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky But 'til that morning, there's nothing can harm you Yes, with daddy and mammy standing by Summertime and the living is easy Fish are jumping and the cotton is high Oh, your daddy's rich (daddy's rich) And your ma is good-looking (your ma is good-looking) So hush, little baby, baby, don't you cry (oh, don't you cry) (Oh, don't you cry) don't you cry (Oh, don't you cry, oh, don't you cry)
