       Am
Summertime
Dm                 Am
And the living is easy
Dm
Fish are jumping
                   E F E
And the cotton is high
              Am  Dm                        Am
Your daddy's rich and your momma's good lookin'
   C           Am    Dm    E           Am
So hush little baby, Don't, don't you cry

One of these mornings
Oh, you're going to rise up singing
Oh, then you'll spread your wings
And you take to the sky
But till that morning, yeah
There ain't nothing gonna harm you
So hush, so hush little baby
Now don't, don't you cry, hey

Hey now one of these mornings
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Oh, rise up singing

One of these mornings
One of these mornings, one of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing, ooh
You're going to spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky
Oh, but till that morning, morning
Ooh baby, ain't nothing can go harm you
With your daddy and mommy
Daddy and mommy, daddy and mommy standing by
