Summertime, a little different and a little more. It sounds low and easy on an A harp. A great number this, you can add bends as you like, and stretch the intonation with a few added words. 5 4 5 -4" 4 -4" 5 4 -3" 2~~~~ Sum-mer//time---/an' the liv-in' is/ ea- sy--/ 5 -4' 4 -4' -4" 4 4 4 -4' 4 -3"~~~~ Fish are a/jump-in--/an' the cot-ton is/high--/ ~ 5 5 5 -4 4 5 4 -4' 5 -4" 4 - oh yo'/ dad-dy's rich-/an yo' ma is good-/ -3" 2 2 3 2 3 -3" 4 -4" 4 look-in'--/-- So hush, lit-tle ba-by,/don' yo/ -3"~~~~~~~~~~~ 5 5 4 5 5 cry---/----/- /One of these/morn-in's/ 5 -4 4 -4 5 4 -3" 2~~~~~ 5 4 you gon-na rise--up/sing-in'--/- then you'll/ -4' -4" -4 -4 -4"~~~ spread yo' (lit-tle) wings--/ 4 -3" 4 -3" 4 3~~~~~ an' you'll take- (to) the/sky---/ ~~ 5 5 4 5 5~~~~ --but till that/morn-in'---/ -4 -3 -4 5 4 -3" 2~~~~~~ 2 there's a noth-in' can/harm you--/-- with/ 2 3 2 3 -3" 4 5 -4' 4 -3~~~~~~~~~ 2~~~~ yo Dad-dy an' Mam-my/stand-in/by----/----/----/ Yours Harmusman
