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't goin'! You hear me sayin'
If you ain' goin', wid you I'm stayin'!

Bess, you is my woman now!
Now an' forever
Mornin' time an' evenin' time
An'summer time an' winter time

I love you Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't 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 goin' to handle me an' hol' me so
It's goin' to be like dyin',Porgy,deep inside me
Bu when he calls,I have to go
I love you Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't 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
