Nelson, Willie - Summertime Lyrics






Summertime, and the livin' is easy
Fish are bitin' and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mammy's good looking
So hush, little baby, don't want you cry

Some of these days you're gonna rise up smiling
Spread your wings and take to the sky
Till that time there ain't nothing gonna harm you
So hush, little baby, don't you cry
Hush, little baby, don't you cry

Nelson, Willie Summertime Comments
  1. R.... E....

    That's what I called classic stripped down to a well used guitar beautiful.
    No pretense, all real and personal period. Thanks for the upload. Mr. Willie Nelson is a major influence musically socially and in all just a great gentleman.

  2. s.... e....

    527 thumbs down ?!!!! lame ignoramuses

  3. G.... T....

    What I love most about Willy Nelson is his music is so honest. No echo. No compressor. No effects.

  4. 4.... ....

    Willie is a legend.

  5. M.... W....

    -- Willie could have been the rich daddy in this song

  6. d.... l....

    Love you Willie! Took me thru nasty divorce in the 80,s

  7. d.... ....

    He should get his guitar repaired

  8. M.... p....

    Argentina

  9. J.... M....

    Summertime, and the livin' is easy
    Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
    Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
    So hush, little baby, don't you cry
    One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
    And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
    But till that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you
    With daddy and mammy standin' by
    Summertime, and the livin' is easy
    Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
    Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
    So hush, little baby, don't you cry.
    So hush, little baby, don't you cry
    So hush, little baby, don't you cry

  10. P.... G....

    A special place of my heart belongs to Willie

  11. A.... H....

    Esse violão deve ter muita história para contar ...

    A.... H....

    Pensei nisso também

  12. s.... ....

    True legend

  13. j.... d....

    It feels like he and his guitar have grown old together with each other

  14. C.... J....

    This man gives you hope to go on as long as he has and that we will still be able to enjoy still playing music 💓

  15. L.... ....

    Better than Sinatra!

  16. P.... ....

    My god, I'd love to dance a tango to this. So much in this song/version.

  17. G.... E....

    Muchas gracias Senor Nelson. Hermoso.

  18. R.... L....

    How great is this???

  19. J.... L....

    One word: Beautiful.

  20. C.... O....

    He is beginning to look like his guitar.... finally !

  21. M.... C....

    The phrasing and intonation made me think of the Stardust album.

  22. R.... S....

    Ain't nothing admirable about a guitar that looks like that!!!!

    R.... S....

    The aging improves the tone. The signs of hard use come with hard playing.

  23. R.... S....

    Had my guitar for over 40 years and has a few 'scratches' but doesn't look like it's been through domestic 'quarrels'!!!!!

    R.... S....

    I guess you were playing less than Willie

  24. R.... S....

    Damn.........hate to say it but guess he doesn't like his guitar too much? Its downright UGLY to look at!!! Willy - I think you can afford a guitar that looks more presentable.....don't you think???

    R.... S....

    Man you are really fixated on Trigger. Go tour for 5 decades then come back with your thoughts.

    R.... S....

    @Morongobill's Channel Yeah, come to think of it......you might have a point!!

  25. L.... S....

    Very good.
    Nice voice, cool old guitar.
    I like this.

  26. r.... r....

    Great talent .. Too bad he's a fucking democrat.. Maybe he smokes too much weed .

  27. J.... H....

    Completely blown away. This some soulful music.

  28. H.... G....

    The cutter totally drunk again ...

  29. j.... t....

    I'm an old man, 75 years. I play this on my guitar every day in hopes of rising up like Mister Nelson my hero. 6 years and still learning. Season's Greetings all you pickers

  30. B.... J....

    Some history there....

  31. T.... A....

    Love the sound of his strings.

    T.... A....

    Its a classical guitar, has nylon strings, look up Spanish guitar and I'm sure you will love it.

  32. T.... ....

    A true living legend.

  33. L.... B....

    Isn’t trigger lovely sat there in his daddy’s arms....aw

  34. A.... B....

    The old man, his guitar, his song and a concentrate of life's emotion. Thank you Nelson for this moment.

  35. B.... Y....

    This was the best version of this song to me until Billy Strings came along and did the impossible

  36. M.... P....

    I remember when I wrote this song in 1925 & played it for some "friends" at a party in the1930's. Gershwin was there and stole the song from me. Just like the Beatles used to ripoff my material in the late great 60's of old. They shall all suffer for their sins & cry out for mercy, where there shall be no mercy.

  37. E.... G....

    trigger

  38. D.... B....

    Where can I get in touch with Nelson??

  39. J.... ....

    God must've given Willie health of steel, because the man is pushing 90, is fit as a fiddle, and still sounds like he's only 60.

  40. G.... V....

    Words cannot describe just how talented this man is. He has written many great songs and entertained us for more than 50 years. Thanks Willie

  41. H.... T....

    Living legend! God bless this amazing soul.

  42. J.... H....

    And to think this poor man is a slave to the addiction of that lethal hippie fog called marijuana.

  43. P.... P....

    im a guitarist born on the same day of the year as Willie. I wish someday i can have a guitar with such a cool backstory as him.

  44. M.... P....

    How much excites me nowadays but you are one

  45. M.... P....

    I sleep in the closet because of you I do not want to bite marijuana in the parking lot

  46. M.... P....

    Kill the f****** piano please

  47. M.... P....

    It's not the same man

  48. L.... ....

    He should definitely get better guitar it could better sound but i guess he is stubborn to change it..

  49. e.... a....

    who is here because of that guitar repairshop guy

  50. m.... c....

    God Bless You ! Admiration and Peace Feelings from Southers Brazilians.

  51. R.... H....

    It ust don't get any better than this!

  52. J.... F....

    Summertime, and the livin' is easy
    Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
    Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
    So hush, little baby, don't you cry
    One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
    And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
    But till that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you
    With daddy and mammy standin' by
    One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
    And you'll spread your wings and you'll take to the sky
    But till that morning, there ain't nothin' can harm you
    With daddy and mammy standin' by
    Summertime, and the livin' is easy
    Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high
    Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin'
    So hush, little baby, don't you cry

    I saw this Hippie twice Great both times . He can sure play that late sixties Spanish Martin guitar named Trigger

  68. C.... M....

    Song for a grandbaby, too

  69. F.... V....

    Bullshit. WN has a good voice but he could have done better than an agonizing and meager improvisation of the tune. There's tooo many amateur rendition of it in you tube.He puts me to sleep....This one comes off just like any other. He could have done better. Disappointed.

    F.... V....

    Makes the song sound like a stupid lullaby. I wish i had a million fingers and push the thumbs down button. Booooring....belch!

     Willie,Trigger and the song itself.
    And all three have a wikipedia entry.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Nelson
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigger_(guitar)
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summertime_(George_Gershwin_song)

    I am not from the US but somehow this is the secret hymn of the USA to me.

  83. H.... B....

    What a monster and a motherfuker together at that I'm Helen. Lights camera action

  84. R.... H....

    A man’s man. In line to be replaced by millennials. And people say the future is bright...

  85. M.... E....

    Legend 👑

  86. W.... J....

    ¡Qué hermoso!

  87. M.... P....

    Dude the person on the piano was totally minor key, didn't contribute to the song at all.

  88. d.... ....

    Ella, Louis, Willie...its something when you get to that level when you are known by one name & will be long long after you pass.

  89. d.... ....

    Willie Nelson, I love you & I will be truly sad when you pass.

  90. A.... A....

    Grazie al detective MONK ho conosciuto Willie Nelson. Originale questa interpretazione di Summertime.

  96. E.... ....

    When he dies his guitar should go in a firepit like everything else country people burn up

  97. A.... M....

    Practice never
    over learning,
    patience here
    by no
    guards, loving,
    the distance
    in singing,
    for what;
    ever goes,
    wrong, I'm
    peace, in
    play by
    strong, one;
    more and
    please me
    by playing,
    another and
    swearing, only
    the yesterday's,
    holds, off
    straw
