Summertime, Songtext
von Helen Merrill

Summertime, the livin′ is easy
Fish are jumpin', cotton is high
Your daddy′s rich, your ma's good-lookin'
Hush, little baby, don′t you cry


One of these mornings, gonna rise up singin′
Then, you'll spread your wings, take to the sky
′Til that morning, nothin' can harm you
Daddy and mommy standin′ by

Summertime, the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin′, cotton high
Your daddy's rich, your ma's good-lookin′
Hush, little baby, don′t you cry
