Bess, you is my woman now,
you is, you is!
An' you mus' laugh an' sing an' dance
for two instead of one
Want no wrinkle on yo! brow.
No-how.
but I ain' goin'! You hear me sayin'
If you-ain' goin', wid you l'm stayin'!
Bess, you is my woman now,
Now an' forever
Mornin' time an' evenin' time
an' summer time an' winter time
I loves you, Porgy,
don' let him take me
don' let him handle me
an' drive me mad
If you can keep me
I want to stay here
wid you forever
an' I'll be glad
Someday, I know he's comin' back to call me
he's going to handle me an' hol' me so.
It's goin' to be like dyin', Porgy, deep inside me.
But when he calls me, I have to go.
I loves you, Porgy,
don' let him take me
don' let him handle me
an' drive me mad
If you can keep me
I want to stay here
wid you forever
an' I'll be glad
