Lyrics

Summertime

[Verse 1] Summertime, and the living is easy Fish are biting and the cotton is high Your daddy's rich and your mammy's good looking [Chorus] So hush, little baby, don't want you cry [Verse 2] Some of these days you're gonna rise up smiling Spread your wings and take to the sky Till that time there ain't nothing going to harm you [Chorus]
