Summertime

by Sissel Kyrkjebø

on Sissel (1986)

Summertime an' the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' an' the cotton is high.
Oh, yo' daddy's rich,
An' yo' ma is good lookin'!
So hush, little baby, don' - you cry.

one of these mornin's
you goin' to rise up singing!
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 an' Mammy standin' by.
