[Verse 1]
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy is rich
And your ma is good lookin'
So, hush little baby don't you cry
[Verse 2]
One of these mornings
You gonna rise up singing
You gonna hoist your wings, oh
Take to the sky
But till that morning
Nothing will harm you
With daddy and mammy
They'll be standing by
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
[Verse 4]
Just a long way from my home, oh Lord
Just a long way from home
[Break]
[Verse 5]
Long way from home
Long way from home
[Verse 1]
Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin', oh
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy is rich
And your ma is good lookin'
So, hush little baby don't you cry
[Verse 2]
One of these mornings
You gonna rise up singing
You gonna hoist your wings, oh
Take to the sky
But till that morning
Nothing can harm you
With daddy and mommy
They'll be standing by
