Summertime
The living's easy
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, Lord
Cotton's high, Lord so high

And your daddy's rich
And your ma is so good-looking now
She's looking good now, baby
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
No, no, no, no, don't you cry, don't you 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, nothing's gonna harm you now
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
