Summertime Songtext
von Billy Stewart

Brrrrrrrr
Dut-chuk-chuk
Chuka-chuka-chuk
Huh! Girl!

A-summertime
An′ the livin' is easy
Fish are jumping
Don′t you know my darlin'?
I said it right now
And a-cotton is high

Laka-laka-laka
Yo' old daddy is rich
So damn rich, girl-a
An′ a-yo mommy′s good-looking, yeah
So, a-hush pretty little, baby
Don't a, a-you cry


One-a-these, a-one-a-these
A-one-a-these morning′s come up, early
Ya gonna rise, ya gonna rise up, singin'
Then you spread yo′ little wings
Yo' little wings
An-a take to the sky-la-la-la-lie

Brrrrrrrr
Until a-that mornin′, you're a free maid
There's a-nothin′ a-gon′ harm you, girl
With a 'dombie′, an a-daddy standin' by
Yeah, blues!

I know, my little darlin′, I love you, so
An' a-never gonna let you go, Lord!
La, la-la-lie

La-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
La-la-la, la-la-la
They, pretty baby cannot save the day, yeah, girl
Hush, pretty little baby
Don′t wanna let you cry
Hush! Shush!


Don't a-you cry, Lordy
Little darlin', I see a girl
No hope child, I, I, said a-right now
A-listen, baby
I don′t, I don′t, I don't
I don′t want you to die
Don't-a, pretty baby child
A-don′t let-a tear, don't let a tear
Fall from yo′ eyes! Hey!
All that mama do to please you-ooh

Baby child, I said a-right now
Don't let a tear, don't let a tear
Don′t let a tear
Baby doll, I said
Fall down a-from yo′ eyes

So hush, pretty baby
D'oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa-oh

You-ooh-ooh
Brrrrrrrr-ut
Chuk-chuk
Chuk-chuka-chuk-chuk

Baby, help you through, don′t fall
Now, settle back down
Little girl, girl
Little darling, do not let a tear fall-a from your eye
Whoa!
