(1957)
Summertime and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy is rich and your ma is good lookin’
So hush, little baby, don’t you cry
One of these mornings
You’re gonna rise up singing
Yes, you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take to the sky
But till that morning
There’s nothin’ can harm you
Yes, with daddy and mammy standin’ by
Summertime and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy’s rich and your ma is good lookin’
So hush, little baby, don’t you cry
