[Lyric] Summertime At Town Hall version (Carolyn Hester)

[Intro]
Here's a song I first heard Pete Seeger do
And I haven't been able to do without it since then

[Chorus]
Summertime and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich, and your mother's good-lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry

[Verse]
One of these mornin's
You will rise up singin'
Then you'll spread your wings and take to the sky
Until that morning
There is nothing, nothing is going to harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by

[Chorus]
Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy's rich, and your mama's good-lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry
