Summertime (From Porgy and Bess) - Mahalia Jackson

Summertime,

And living is easy

Fish are jumping,

And the cotton is high

Oh your daddy ain’t rich,

And your ma is good looking

So hush little baby

And dont you cry

One of these mornin’s

Your gunna rise up singing

Your gunna hist your wings

And take to the sky

But til' that mornin'

Nothing will harm you

With Daddy and Mammy,

They’ll be standing by

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child (x's 4)

Just a long way from my home (x's 2)

O' Lord

Just a long way from home

(humming)

Long way from home (x's 2)

(Repeat all)
