Lyrics Summertime - Paul Robeson

Summertime and the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high

Oh your daddy's rich and your mammy good lookin'

So hush little baby, don't you cry

One of these mornings

You're gonna rise up singing

And you'll spread your wings

And you fly to the sky

But 'till that morning

There's nothin' can harm you

With daddy and mammy standin' by

Writer(s): Ira Gershwin, George Gershwin, Dorothy Heyward, Dubose Edwin Heyward
