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 now
No, no, no, 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 ya
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, don't you cry
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 now
No, no, no, 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 ya
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, don't you cry

i'm not sure if it was ever in a musical, but it is one of my favorite songs of hers, she has so much passion in her voice.
