Summertime

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

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings
And take to the sky

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Till the morning, till the morning
Ain't nothin' can harm you
With your daddy and mommy standing, standing by

One of these mornings
You're gonna rise up, you're gonna rise up
And you're gonna be singin', yeah
You're gonna spread your wings
And you are gonna take your own piece of the sky
But until, until, until, yeah, until that morning, yeah
There ain't nothin' gonna harm you, hey, hey, hey, hey
Yeah, 'cause your mama and your daddy
They'll be standing by, standing by

Standing by, standing by, standing by
Mama and daddy, mama and daddy
Cotton eye in the summertime
