Summertime ( In Album Woodstock ) Lyrics

Summertime,
Child, you`re living easy.
Fish are, fish are jumping out
And the cotton, Lord,
Cotton`s high, Lord, so high.

Your daddy`s rich,
When your ma, oh honey thinks she`s mighty good-looking, babe.
I said she`s looking pretty fine to me right now,
Don`t you know she is.
Whoa, hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
No, no, no, no, no, don`t you cry.
Oh honey you`d better not cry
`Cause they`re gonna kick you up if when you want to do nothing,
Take it from me!
Cry.

Whoa, one of these mornings,
Child, you`ll rise up singing, baby, oh.
I said you`re gonna wanna go, honey, spread your wings,
Yeah, child, you take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky.

Until that morning,
Honey, no-no-no-nothing`s going to harm you, babe,
I said honey nothing`s ever gonna let you down,
`Cause I just wouldn`t let them do it , no, no, no, no, no,
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
No, no, no, no, no,
Don`t you cry, oh no,
Cry.
