 Summertime 
 Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

Summertime, and the living is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your Daddy is rich and your Ma is good lookin'
So, hush lil' baby, don't you cry

one of these mornings, you gonna rise up singin'
You gonna hoist your wings- take to the sky
But 'til that morning, nothing can harm you
With Dad and Mommy, they'll be standing by
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Just a long ways from my home
Oh, long ways from home
Summertime, and the living is easy
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
Oh, your Daddy is rich and your Ma is good lookin'
So, hush lil' baby, don't you cry

one of these mornings, you gonna rise up singin'
You gonna hoist your wings, oooh,take to the sky
But 'til that morning, nothing can harm you
With Dad and Mommy, they'll be standing by
