"Summertime" lyrics
Doc Watson & Richard Watson Lyrics
Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are a-jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your pappy's rich, your mammy's good lookin'
Hush, little baby, honey, don't you cry
One of these mornin's, you gonna rise up singin'
You'll spread out your wings and take to the sky
Until that day, you can hush up your crying
Your pappy an' your mammy standin' by
Summertime and the livin' is easy
Catfish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your pappy's rich, your mammy's good lookin'
Hush, little baby, honey, don't you cry
Come on now, honey, go to sleep
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
Fish are a-jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your pappy's rich, your mammy's good lookin'
Hush, little baby, honey, don't you cry
One of these mornin's, you gonna rise up singin'
You'll spread out your wings and take to the sky
Until that day, you can hush up your crying
Your pappy an' your mammy standin' by
Summertime and the livin' is easy
Catfish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your pappy's rich, your mammy's good lookin'
Hush, little baby, honey, don't you cry
Come on now, honey, go to sleep
Hush, little baby, don't you cry
