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
looking good now
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby No,
no, no, no, don’t you cry
Don’t you cry!

One of these mornings
You’re gonna rise, rise up singing
You’re gonna spread your wings And
take, take to the sky
Lord, the sky

But until that morning
Honey, n-n-nothing’s going to harm ya
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, 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
