Summertime - Ray Charles, Cleo Laine

Summertime

And the livin' is easy

Oh, fish are jumpin'

And the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy’s rich

And your ma, she good lookin'

So why don’t you just hush little baby

I don’t want you, I don’t want you to cry

One of these mornings

Yeah, you’re gonna rise up singing

Oh, you’re gonna spread your wings

And you’ll take to the sky

Oh, but until that morning

There’s nothing can harm you

With your daddy and your mama

They’re gonna be standing by

Summertime

And the livin' is easy

Fish are jumping

And the cotton is high

Oh, your daddy’s rich

And your ma, she’s good lookin'

So hush little baby

Don’t you cry

One of these mornings

You’re gonna rise up singing

Then you’ll spread your wings

And you’ll take to the sky

But until that morning

There’s nothing can harm you

With daddy and mommy standing by

Summertime (Summertime)

And the livin' is easy

(And the livin' is, the livin' is easy)

Yes, fish are jumpin' (Ooh, they’re jumpin')

And the cotton is high (High)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, your daddy’s rich, yeah

(Mmm, your daddy’s rich, daddy’s rich)

And your ma is good lookin'

(And your ma, she’s good lookin')

So hush little baby (Ooh, hush, hush)

And don’t you cry

Your daddy and mommy is standing by

Your daddy and your mama, daddy and your mama

Yeah, they’re standing by
