Act1
Scene 1
CATFISH ROW
(Evening, Catfish Row is quiet. Jasbo Brown is at the Piano, playing a low-down blues while half a dozen couples dance in a slow, almost hypnotic rhythm.)

GROUP
Da-doo-da. Da-do о-da.
(As a rhythmic chant)
Wa, wa, wa, wa. Da-doo-da. Da-doo-da.
(Lights find another group on stage, m the center of which Clara sits with her baby in her arms, rocking it back and forth)

CLARA
Summertime and the livin' is easy,
Fish are jumpin', and the cotton is high.
Oh your daddy's rich, and your ma is good lookin',
So hush, little baby, don' yo' cry.

(Girls of chorus sing "ООН" behind Clara)

One of these monin's you goin' to rise up singin',
Then you'll spread уо' wings an' you'll take the sky.
But till that monin', there's a-nothin' can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin' by.

(Lights come up on still another group, this time a crap game.)
