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]
