Summertime Songtext
von Big Brother & the Holding Company

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 is so good-looking, baby
She's a-looking good now
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't you cry, 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, n-n-nothing's going to harm ya now
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
