The recording appropriately entitled collaboration and will hear not one, but two, starting with Summer Time and we'll conclude with a new town is a blue town. Summer Time It's easy, fish are jumping, the cotton is hot, the dead is red, your mother's good looking, hush little baby, don't have you

Summer Time, the living is easy It's easy, fish are jumping, the cotton is hot, your daddy's red, your mother's good looking, hush little baby, don't you cry You're gonna rise up singing, then you'll spread your wings, you'll take to the sky

Till that morning, nothing can harm you, daddy and mommy standing for you The living is easy, fish are jumping, the cotton is hot, your daddy's red, your mother's good looking,

hush little baby, don't you cry One of these mornings, you're gonna rise up singing, then you'll spread your wings, you'll take to the sky, till that morning, nothing will harm you, hush little baby You're gonna rise up singing, then you'll spread your wings, you'll take to the sky You're gonna rise up singing, then you'll spread your wings, you'll take to the sky

Ah, a new town, here's a blue town, a hood you know, and show me what you can do There's no red carpet at your feet If you're that tough they'll try to beat you down In a new hotel The old town It's not like the old town It won't take long to find That you're in a cold town

But you know you can lick it You didn't buy a round trip ticket To this cold, cold, new hotel Nobody asked me to come here And nobody asked me to stay Made up my own mind And I know that I'll find My own way Since that first day When I said my town I don't well nearly said Good bye town

But I won't leave until I'm making my town You'll see This one horse Don't be a heck of a new town Ain't gonna lick me It won't take long to find That you're in a cold town Ain't gonna lick me It won't take long to find That you're in a cold town Ain't gonna lick me
