Letra

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're gonna rise up singing

Yes, you'll spread your wings

And you'll take to the sky

But 'til that mornin'

There's nothin' can harm you

Yes with Daddy and Mammy

Standing by

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

Baby, don't you cry

Oh don't you cry (don't you cry)
