And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high
Oh, you're daddy's rich
And your ma is good lookin'
So hush little baby, don't you cry

I may have heard the original somewhere. Not entirely sure.

EDIT for a bit more content : Yeah, the hook is based off Summertime (hence the similarity in the titles) but the song is definitely a Sublime original. The original is a lullaby and does quite a bit for the black/slave references, whereas Sublime's version is about a guy who's girl cheats on him. He wants to do something about it, but he just can't.
