Lyrics

Summertime
Child, you're living easy
Fish are, fish are jumping out
And the cotton, lord, cotton's high, lord, so high

Your daddy's rich
And your ma, honey I think she's a mighty good-looking babe
I think she's looking pretty fine to me now
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
No, no, no, no, no, don't you cry
Don't you cry!!!

One of these mornings
Child, you'll rise up singing
An' since you gotta go, honey, spread your wings
You can take, take the sky
Lord, the sky

Until that morning
Honey, n-n-no, nothing's gonna harm you babe
I said, honey, no one's ever gonna let you down
They wouldn't do it
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
No, no, no, no, no, don't you cry
No!
Cry
