Summer time and the living is easy. 
 8    8  8 -8 -8    
Fish are a-jumpin'  
7   -6   7 -6   7  -7 
and the cotton is high. 
 8    8  7    8   -8   
Your daddy's rich and  
  7   -8 8    7   -6  5 
your mama's good-looking. 
5    6     5  6  -6 7  8-8   77  7-6 
So, hush, little baby, don't you cry.

One of these mornings 
-8   8  7 -6  5 8    8  8 -8 -8 
You're going to rise up singing 
7    -6   7   -6    7    -7  
Then you'll spread your wings 
 8    8      7  8   -8 -8 
And you'll take to the sky 
 7   -8 8    7   -6  5  
But ti--ll that morning 
5      5    6   5  6   -6    7 
There's a'nothing can harm you 
8   -8   7  7  7  -6 -8  -8   7 
With daddy and mamma standing by 

 8  7   8   -8   7  -8  8  7  -6 5  
Summer time and the living is easy.  
 8    8  8 -8 -8     
Fish are a-jumpin'   
7   -6   7 -6   7  -7  
and the cotton is high.  
 8    8  7    8   -8    
Your daddy's rich and   
  7   -8 8    7   -6  5  
your mama's good-looking.  
5    6     5  6  -6 7  8-8   77  7-6  
So, hush, little baby, don't you cry.
