(1935) DuBose Heyward, George Gershwin
Summertime and the livin`s easy,
Fish are jumpin`, and the cotton is high.
Oh yo` daddy`s rich and yo` ma is good lookin`,
So hush, little baby, don` yo` cry.
One of these mornin`s you goin` to rise un singin`,
Then you`ll spread yo` wings an` you`ll take the sky.
But till that mornin`, there`s a-nothin` can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin` by.
