lifeblood: songs: summertime


summertime
and the living is easy
fish are jumping
the cotton is high
oh your daddy's rich
your mama's good looking
i said hush little baby
don't you cry

one of these mornings
you're bound to rise up singing
then you'll spread your wings
and take to the sky
but til that morning
nothing's going to harm you no
with daddy and mama standing by

summertime
(sweet summertime)
and the living is easy
(living is easy)
fish are jumping
the cotton is high
(sky high)
oh your daddy's rich
(your daddy's rich)
and your mama's good looking
(your mama's good looking)
i said hush little baby
don't you cry

don't you cry
(don't you cry)
summertime
(sweet summertime)
summertime
(sweet summertime)
summertime
