Thanks for the link.
Gosh I love that song.

You likely know this: It is from Act I Scene 1 in Porgy and Bess,
where “Clara” is singing to her crying baby.

Lyrics:
Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high

Oh, Your daddy’s rich
And your mamma’s good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry

One of these mornings
You’re going to rise up singing
Then you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take to the sky

But until that morning
There’s a’nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mammy standing by

Summertime,
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high

Your daddy’s rich
And your mamma’s good lookin’
So hush little baby
Don’t you cry

Oops.

In reference to post #75 - she is singing to the plantation owner’s crying kid
in ‘Summertime’.
