Janis Joplin - Summertime

Summertime,

Child, your living's easy.

Fish are, fish are jumping out

And the cotton, Lord,

Cotton's high, Lord so high.

Your dad's rich

And your ma is so good-looking, baby.

She's a-looking pretty fine to me now,

Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby now,

No, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Don't you cry, don't you cry.

One of these mornings

You're gonna rise, rise up singing,

You're gonna spread your wings, child,

And take, take to the sky,

Lord, the sky.

But until that morning,

Honey, n-n-nothing's going to harm ya,

No, no, no no, no no, no...

Don't you cry — cry.
