Ah, ooh 

Summertime, time, time 

Child, the living's easy 

Fish are jumping out 

And the cotton, Lord 

Cotton's high, yeah high 



Your daddy's rich 

Oh, and your ma is so good-looking, baby 

She's looking good now 

Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby 

Oh no, no, no, no, don't you cry 

Don't you cry! 



Oh, 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 



But until that morning 

Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm you now 

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no 

Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby 

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no 

Don't you cry! 

Cry
