Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Summertime and the living is easy

Fish are jumping and the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'

So hush little baby, don't you cry

[Verse 2]

One of these mornings you gonna rise up singing

As you spread your wings and you take to the sky

But 'till that morning there's nothing can harm you

Yeah, with daddy and mommy standing by

[Verse 3]

Summertime and the living is easy

Fish are jumping and the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'

So hush little baby, don't you cry

[Verse 4]

Oh, don't you cry

Oh, don't you cry

Oh, don't you cry

Written by: Dubose Heyward, George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin
