Summer Time

SUMMER TIME Summer time and, living is lemon squeezy Feet up enjoying my life it’s so easy peesy My Daddy broke his back earning his living My mother’s looks nature was unforgiving I spent all my time, wailing in the backyard As nobody answered, I am now so scarred Left home at 15 &, whored myself around Ended up state, on more common ground Got in with a rich man who had the dollars Up there now with the rest of the scholars Daddy cries my daughter isn’t coming back To this misery life she could no longer hack My Mammy wails and, looks up to the skies While fish are jumping to see why she cries “Yus” Summer time and, living is lemon squeezy Feet up enjoying my life it’s so easy peesy Indiana Shaw . . . ; )
