"Summertime" lyrics

"Summertime"

Summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton it's high
So high
Oh-oh, your daddy's a rich man
And your mama, she's good-looking
Oh, she's outta sight
So, hush little baby
C'mon, and don't you ever cry, oh

One of these mornings, you're gonna rise up singing, hey-hey
You gonna spread your wings, and take off to the sky, yeah!
But 'til that morning, nothing is gonna harm you, hmm, no-no

So, hush little baby
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Ah, don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
I believe, stand by
I believe, stand by
But, don't cry

I said, "Yeah"
I said, "Yeah"
I said, "Yeah"
Don't cry
No, don't cry
Don't cry
No, don't cry
Don't, don't
Don't, don't cry
