Summertime
George Gershwin, DuBose Heyward
[Verse 1]
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich, and your mamma's good-lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry
Baby, don't cry
[Verse 2]
One of these mornings, heh
You're gonna rise up singing
Then you're gonna spread your little wings
Take to the sky, ow!
[Verse 3]
Until that morning
Don't you let nothing can harm you
So hush, mmm, little baby, don't you cry
Oh baby, don't cry, don't shed a tear
Baby, don't cry, hee, hey, hey!
Baby, don't, hey, hey-ey-ey... no, no
