"Summertime" lyrics
Amanda Shires, Bobbie Nelson & Willie Nelson Lyrics
(originally from "Porgy and Bess" opera)
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich
And your ma is good-lookin'
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
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 'til that morning
There's nothing can harm you
With daddy and mammy standing by
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
Then you'll take the sky
But 'til that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
Not with your daddy and your mammy standing by
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich
And your ma is good-lookin'
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
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 'til that morning
There's nothing can harm you
With daddy and mammy standing by
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
Then you'll take the sky
But 'til that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
Not with your daddy and your mammy standing by
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
