Summertime, time, time,
Your daddy’s rich
One of these mornings
But until that morning
Child, the living’s easy.
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, Lord,
Cotton’s high, Lord, so high.
And your ma is so good-looking, baby.
She’s looking good now,
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
No, no, no, no, don’t you cry.
Don’t you cry!
You’re gonna rise, rise up singing,
You’re gonna spread your wings,
Child, and take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky.
Honey, n-n-nothing’s going to 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, no, no
No, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no,
Don’t you cry,
Cry.
