Summertime Songtext
von Billy Stewart

La-la-la
La-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-lie
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la
La, la-la-la
La, la-la-la
La-la-lie
La-la-lie
B-rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Dut-chuk-chuk
Chuka-chuka-chuk
Huh! Girl!


A-summertime
An′ the livin' is easy
Fish are jumping
Don′t ya know my darlin'?
I-I said, a-right now
An a-cotton is high

Laka-laka-laka
Yo' old daddy is rich
So damn rich, girl-a
An′ a-yo mommy′s good looking, yeah-ay
So, a-hush pretty little, baby
Don't a, a-you cry

One-a-these, a-one-a-these
A-one-a-these mornin′s come up, early
Ya gonna rise
Ya gonna rise up, singin'
Then you spread yo′ little wings
Yo little wings
An-a take to the sky-la-la-la-lie
B-rrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Until a-that mornin', you′re a free maid
There's a-nothin' a-gon′ harm you, girl
With a ′dombie', an a-daddy standin′ by
Yeah, blues!


Come a little la-a-a-ate
I know, my little darlin'
I love you, so
An′ a-never gonna let you go, Lord!
La, la-la-lie

La-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
They, pretty baby
Cannot save the day, yeah, girl
Hush, pretty little baby
Don't wanna let you cry
Hush! Shush!

Don′t a-you cry, Lordy
Little darlin', I see a girl
No hope child, I, I, said a-right now
A-listen, baby
I don't, I don′t, I don′t
I don't want you to die
Don′t-a, pretty baby child
A-don't let-a tear, don′t let a tear
Fall from yo' eyes!
Hey!
All that mama do to please you-ooo

Baby child, I said a-right now
Don′t let a tear, don't let a tear
Don't let a tear
Baby doll, I said
Fall down a-from yo′ eyes

So hush, pretty baby
D′oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa-oooh
You-ooo-oooh
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr-ut
Chuk-chuk
Chuk-chuka-chuk-chuk
Baby, help you through, don't fall
Now, settle back down
Little girl, Girl
Little darling, do not let a tear
Fall-a from your eye
Whoa!
