Fish are jumpin and the cotton is fine
Oh your daddys rich and your ma is good lookin
So hush little baby, dont you cry
One of these mornings
Youre goin to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take the sky
But till that morning
Theres a nothin can harm you
With daddy and mammy standin by
(Composed by Gershwin/Heyward)
I love this text, and I especially love this song when sung by Billie Holiday. Is she just one of the greatest female jazz-singers that has ever been or what? Not that I am particularly much into jazz-music, I just love listening to Billie Holidays voice ;o)
I have been singing this song to my self a lot lately, and to my son ... think we both love it (or at least I hope so hehe). But why? you must be asking ... well, I have started this little project:
Yes, I know I'm a little early as summer has only just begun, but that's the way it is when I finally have ideas - they have to be brought to life right away or else ...
