Porgy & Bess: Summertime Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong

Summertime and the livin′ is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy′s rich and your ma is good lookin'

So hush, little baby, don't you cry

One of these mornings
You gonna rise up singin′

Yes, you′ll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky


Mm, but ′til that morning
There is nothin' can harm you
Yes, with daddy and mommy standin′ by

Summertime and the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin′ and the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy's rich (daddy's rich)
And your ma is good lookin′ (your ma is good lookin′)
So hush, little baby, baby don't you cry

Oh, don′t you cry, oh, don't you cry (don′t)
Oh, don't you cry, oh, don′t you cry (cry)
