Lyrics

Summertime, time, time
Child, the living's easy
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, lord
Cotton's high, lord, so high

Your daddy's rich
And your ma is so good-looking, babe
She's looking good now
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't you cry
Cry!

One of these mornings
You're gonna rise, rise up singing
You're gonna spread your wings
Child, and take, take to the sky
Lord, the sky

Until that morning
Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm you, babe
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't you cry
Cry

Thank you very much. right now we'll do this song. how to make love with the ocean, right? you know the, you know the moon was in a total eclipse tonight, in scorpio, far out , on easter sunday tbe sun will be eclipsed, it will be dark for a while. weird. it's got tough about us, it's sort of a relation. it's called "light is faster than sound"
