Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich
And your ma, she good lookin'
So why don't you just hush, little baby
I don't want you, I don't want you to cry
[Verse 2]
One of these mornings
Yeah, you're going to rise up singing
Oh, you gonna spread your wings
And you'll take the sky
Oh, but till that morning
There is nothing can harm you
With your daddy and your mama, they're gonna be standing by
[Verse 3]
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich
And your ma, she's good lookin'
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
[Verse 4]
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There's nothing can harm you
With daddy and mommy standing by
[Verse 5]
Summertime (Summertime)
And the livin' is easy (And the livin' is easy)
Yes, fish are jumpin' (Ooh)
And the cotton is high (High)
Oh, your daddy's rich
Mm, and your ma is good lookin'
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
With daddy and mommy standing by
Your daddy and your mama, girl and your mama, girl they're standing by
