Did you know that today is the first official day of summer? This makes me think about the Porgy and Bess song, "Summertime." This is one of the songs my mother sang to me when I was a little girl and I would ask her to sing. Posted below are the lyrics and a video of Fantasia Barrino singing the song.

Summertime
from Porgy and Bess


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
