Summertime, time, time   Child, the living's easy   Fish are jumping out   And the cotton, Lord   Cotton's high, Lord so high      Your daddy's rich   And your ma is so good-looking, baby   She's a-looking good now   Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby   No, no, no, no, don't you cry, don't you cry      One of these mornings   You're gonna rise, rise up singing   You're gonna spread your wings, child   And take, take to the sky   Lord, the sky      Until that morning   Honey, nothing's going to harm you now   No, no, no no, no no, no, no, no, no, no   No, no, no no, no no, no, no, no, no, no   No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, don't you cry
