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
