Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Summertime, time, time
Child, the livin's easy
Fish are jumpin' out
And the cotton, Lord, cotton's high
Lord, so high
[Verse 2]
Your daddy's rich and
And your ma's so good lookin', baby
She's lookin' good, now
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
No, no, no, no, don't you cry
Don't you cry
[Verse 3]
One of these mornin's
You're gonna rise, rise up singin'
You're gonna spread your wings
Child, and take, take for the sky
Lord, the sky
[Verse 4]
Until the mornin'
Honey, nothin's goin' to harm you now
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't you cry
Oh
