Summertime

Billie Holiday

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 mornin's
 You're goin' to rise up singin'
 Yes you'll spread your wings
 And you'll take to the sky
 But til' that mornin'
 Theres nothin' can harm you
 With daddy and mammy
 Standin' by
 Summertime
 And the livin' is easy
 Fish are jumpin'
 And the cotton is high
 Oh your daddy's rich
 And you ma is good lookin'
 So hush little baby
 Don't you cry
