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 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, 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
 
 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
 
 Don't you cry
 
 Cry
