Lyrics:
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
No
No
No
No
Don't cry
Don't cry
It's summertime and the living is easy
Fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your daddy's rich and your mama's good looking
Hush little baby
Don't you cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
No
No
No
No
Don't cry
Don't cry
One of these mornings you're gonna rise up singing
You spread your wings and take to the sky
But until that morning there is nothing can harm you
With your daddy and mommy standing by
They are standing by
I know
Don't cry
Summertime
Summertime
Summertime and the living is
Living is easy
Fish are
I know the fish are jumping and cotton is so high
Your daddy is so
So rich and your mama good
She had to be good looking
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
Don't you cry
No
No
Don't cry
No need to cry
Don't cry
Don't cry
Summertime
Summertime

somebody save me!!!!!
I couldn't disagree more. Colin is being extremely faithful to the source material here, both in terms of musicianship and singing style. The only real difference is obviously in his voice sounding different than Cooke's, and a more folk influenced sound as opposed to soul. Cooke's version is just as subdued and 'lazy' as you say. I feel like the only possible reason one might hold that opinion is simply that a white man is singing a song written by a black man in this particular case.
Way to make it weirdly racial for no reason w/ that awkward comment... =/

After Americas got talent?
Quien viene por Lana del Rey
Dammit, I really wanted to hate on these Sam Cooke covers because quite frankly I could never stand Meloy's neurotic voice (and this from a drum-bashing, flag waving worshiper at the altar of Violent Femmes) and we're talking Sam Cooke here. SAM COOKE! One of the great singers of the 20th century. A man who could make a crowd faint in a giant wave like a faith healer with a single "Woo." A man with SOUL. And let's face it, Meloy has about as much soul as Wonderbread. But these are actually ok, pretty good. They're just folk songs. I wouldn't consider this so much a cover of Cook, however. It's actually very similar to Pete Seeger's rendition of Summertime, which I've always loved. So I guess I owe Meloy an apology. I still have a hard time saying the names Colin Melpy and Sam Cooke in the same sentence, but I really appreciate what these renditions do to immortalize Cooke not just as a singer but as a damn fine songwriter in his own right. To pair a Cooke song like Cupid with an "American Songbook" classic like Gershwin's Summertime really emphasizes this. Thanks, Meloy.
"Meloy has about as much soul as Wonderbread." Oh how I beg to DIFFER, and I say as a singer. I get not digging his voice but mother of CHRIST does that man emote. It's not soul how your typically think of it but it is SOUL no doubt.
Andrea Pisani true
Who is Sam Cooke?
“Gadzooks! Punk’s dead...
Last good gut wrenched.
Antennae Sam Cook, black book Pushead.
Cat skulls stacked to the black hole sunset.
Olive on a toothpick, Dagwood Bumstead!“
