Janis Joplin
Summertime
Written - DuBose Heyward & George Gershwin
From - Cheap Thrills
Summertime, time, time
Child, the living's easy
Fish are jumping out 
And the cotton, Lord
Cotton's high, Lord, so high

Your daddy's rich 
And your ma is so good looking, baby
She's looking good now
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
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 you now
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no 
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no 
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Don't you cry
