Summertime Written by George and Ira Gershwin Summertime and the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin and the cotton is high Oh your daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin' So hush little baby don't you cry One of these mornin's you're gonna rise up singin' Yes you spread your wings and you take to the skys But till' that mornin' theres nothin' that can harm you Yes your daddy and mammy stand and wave you goodbye Summertime and the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high Oh your daddy's rich and you ma is good lookin' So hush little baby baby don't you cry Don't you cry
