Summertime, and the living is easy Fish are jumping and the cotton is high Oh, your daddy is rich and you ma is good-looking So hush little baby, don’t you cry One of these morning’s you gonna rise up singing You gonna hide your way, you take to the sky But till that morning nothing will harm you With daddy and mammy there be standing by Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Sometimes I feel like a motherless child Just a long way from home, Lord Just a long way from home Hm-m-m-m A long way from home, 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 you ma is good-looking So hush, little baby, don’t you cry One of these morning you gonna rise up singing You gonna hide your way, you take to the sky But till that morning nothing get harm you With daddy and mammy there be standing by
