"Summertime" lyrics

"Summertime"

It's a summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornin's
You're gonna rise up singin'
Spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But until that moment
There's nothing gonna harm you
Your mommy and daddy are standing by

Cause one of these mornin's
You're gonna rise up singin'
Spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But until that moment
There is nothing gonna harm you
Your mommy and daddy are standing by
