Summertime Songtext
von Big Brother & the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin

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's 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


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

But 'til that morning
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
Oh, ooh
