Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
No, no, no, no
Don't cry
Don't cry
No, little darling, don't cry

It's summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mama's good-looking
So hush, little baby, don't you cry

Don't cry
Don't cry
No, no, no, no
Don't cry
Don't cry
No, no, no, no
Don't cry
Don't cry

One of these mornings you're gonna rise up
Rise up singing
And you'll spread your, spread your wings and take to the (woo!) sky
But until that morning there is nothing can (no, no)
Nothing can harm you (no, no, no, no)
With your daddy and mommy standing by

They're standing by
Standing by
I know, I know they're standing by
They're standing by
So don't cry
They're standing by
Don't cry

Summertime, summertime, summertime
The living is mhm, the living is easy
Fish are, I know they are jumping and cotton is (woo!) so high
Your daddy's  so so rich and your mama's good, mhm
She's naturally good looking
So hush, little baby, don't you cry
Don't you cry
No, no, no
Don't cry
No need to cry
Don't cry
