Summertime, time, time,
|
Child, the living’s easy.
|
Fish are jumping out
|
And the cotton, Lord,
|
Cotton’s high, Lord, so high.
|
|
Your daddy’s rich
|
And your ma is so good-looking, baby.
|
She’s looking good now,
|
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
|
No, no, no, no, don’t you cry.
|
Don’t you cry!
|
|
One of these mornings
|
You’re gonna rise, rise up singing,
|
You’re gonna spread your wings,
|
Child, and take, take to the sky,
|
Lord, the sky.
|
|
But until that morning
|
Honey, n-n-nothing’s going to harm you now,
|
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
|
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
|
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
|
Don’t you cry,
|
Cry.
