Summertime
(George Gershwin/DuBose Heyward )
Summertime
An' the livin is easy
Cat fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Yo' daddy's rich
An' yo' ma ain't ugly
So hush, little baby,
Don' yo' cry
One of these mornin's you goin' to rise up singin',
You're gonna spread yo' wings an' you'll take the sky
But till that mornin'
There ain't nothin' that can harm you
With daddy an' mammy standin' by
