Lyrics Summertime (From "Porgy and Bess") - 101 Strings Orchestra

Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton was high
Your daddy's rich and your mama's good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry

Yeah, in the summertime

One of these morning, you're gonna rise up singin'
Spread your wings and you're taking the sky
But until that morning, where nothing can harm you
With daddy and mummy standing by

You and me baby, ah, in the summertime
You and me baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You see, I need you, ah, baby, yeah

Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy and mama got to watch for our baby
They keep on watching you

I swear to God, I'm trying to get to you, baby
In the summertime, yeah
You see baby, I don't want to see you cry
I'm a poor man, baby
And your mum and dad have got a lot of money

And she's the sweetest honey, yeah, yeah
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I want to get to you in the summertime
I'll sleep when all gonna walk here
Sleep, wait for midnight, yeah
