"Summertime" lyrics

Doc Watson & David Grisman Lyrics

"Summertime"

Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Catfish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, yo' daddy's rich
An' yo' ma is good lookin'
Hush little baby
Honey, don't you cry

One of these mornin's
You gonna rise up singin'
Gonna spread out yo' wings
An' take to the sky
Until that day
You can hush up yo' crying
Your Daddy an' your Momma
Standin' by

Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Catfish are jumpin'
And that ol' cotton is high
Your daddy's rich
An' yo' ma is good lookin'
Hush little baby
Honey, don't you cry
