Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumping
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy is rich
And your ma is good looking
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You gonna rise up singing
You're gonna hoist your way, oh
Take to the sky
But 'til that morning
Nothing will harm you
With dad and mammy
They'll be standing by
Sometime I feel like a motherless child
Sometime I feel like a motherless child
Sometime I feel like a motherless child
Just a long way
From my home, oh Lord
Just a long way
From my home
Hm, hm, hm-hm-hm
Hm-hm-hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm
Long way from home
Long way from home
Summertime
And the living is easy
Fish are jumping, oh
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy is rich
And your ma is good looking
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You gonna rise up singing
You're gonna hoist your way, oh
Take to the sky
But 'til that morning
Nothing will harm you
With dad and mommy
They'll be standing by
