Summertime - Big Mama Thornton

Summertime and the living is easy

Fish are jumping and the cotton is high

Your daddy’s rich and your mama, she’s good looking

So hush little baby, there’s no need for you to cry

One of these mornings you’re gonna rise up singing

And then you’re gonna spread your little wings and you’ll take to the sky

But till that morning don’t worry, nothing gonna harm you

With your daddy and mommy they’ll be standing by

Summertime

One of these mornings you’re gonna rise up singing

And then you’re gonna spread your little wings and you’ll take to the sky

But till that morning comes don’t worry, nothing gonna harm you

With your daddy and mommy, they’ll be standing by

Standing by, standing by, they’ll be standing by your side

Well it’s summertime and the livin' is easy

I said the fish are jumping and the cotton is high

One of these mornings you’re gonna rise up singin'

You’re gonna spread all your wings and you' gonna take to the sky

Don’t you worry little baby 'cause mama and daddy are gonna

Be standing by your side, summertime
