Summertime (Live)

Patricia Kaas · Ma Liberté Contre La Tienne [2007]

(George Gershwin/Ira Gershwin/DuBose Heyward)



Summertime and the living is easy

Fish are jumping and the cotton is high.

Oh yo' daddy's rich and yo' ma is good looking.

So hush, little baby, don't you cry.



One of these mornings, you's gonna rise up singing

Then you'll spread yo' wings and you'll take the sky.

But till that morning, there's ain't nothing can harm you

With your Daddy and Mummy standing by.
