Sum-mer-time and the liv-ing is ea-sy
The fish are jump-ing and the cot-ton is high
Your dad-dy is rich, and your ma is good look-ing
So hush lit-tle ba-by, don't you cry.
Summer time and the living is easy.
Fish are a-jumpin’
and the cotton is high.
Your daddy’s rich and
your mama’s good-looking.
So, hush, little baby, don’t you cry.
One of these mornings
You’re going to rise up singing
Then you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take to the sky
But ti–ll that morning
There’s a’nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
Summer time and the living is easy.
Fish are a-jumpin’
and the cotton is high.
Your daddy’s rich and
your mama’s good-looking.
So, hush, little baby, don’t you cry.
