Summertime…..
An’ the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
An’ the cotton is high
Oh yo’ daddy’s rich,
And yo mamma’s goodlookin’,
So hush little baby, Don’ you cry
One of these mornins’
You’re goin’ to rise up singin’
Then you’ll spread yo’ wings,
An’ you’ll take to the sky
But till that mornin’,
There’s a-nothin’ can harm you,
With daddy an’ mammy standin’ by
Song by George Gershwin for Porgy and Bess

Sweet soul artist of paint, pen, picture.
Luv the way you see, Deborah.
Thank you so much for that Randall! Thank you for “seeing” it and for continuing to support us!
Deborah, an excellent rendition of summertime youth in the South told through word and picture. You have caught the very essence of growing up in the South. That’s one of my favorite songs.
Kind of gets in your head, doesn’t it Gary?! I’ve been going around singing it for days!
