Summertime [From Porgy and Bess] Lyrics
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 mornings
You're goin' to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take the sky
But 'til that morning
There's a nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by
One of these mornings
You're goin' to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take the sky
But 'til that morning
There's a nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
So hush little baby, don't you cry
You're goin' to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take the sky
But 'til that morning
There's a nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by
You're goin' to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take the sky
But 'til that morning
There's a nothin' can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin' by
