Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
[Verse 2]
Oh, your daddy's rich
And your ma is good lookin'
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
[Verse 3]
One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
But till that morning
There's a-nothing can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by
[Verse 4]
(Oh)
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
(And the livin' is easy)
Fish are jumpin'
(Fish are jumpin')
And the cotton is high
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich
And your ma is good lookin'
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
Cry
Cry
