Bess, You Is My Woman Now Lyrics

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,
Nohow,
Because de sorrow of de past is all done done
Oh, bess, my bess!
Porgy, is yo woman now,
I is, I is!
An I aint never goin nowhere less you shares de fun.
Deres no wrinkle on my brow,
Nohow,
But I aint goin! you hear me sayin,
If you ain goin, wid you Im stayin!

Porgy, is yo woman now!
Is yours forever -
Mornin time an evenin time an
Summer time an winter time.
Mornin time an evenin time an
Summer time an winter time.
Bess, you got yo man.

Bess, you is my woman now and forever.*
Dis life is jes begun,
Bess, we two is one
Now an forever.
Oh, bess, dont min dose women.
You got yo porgy.
I knows you means it,
I seen it in yo eyes, bess.
Well go swingin
Through de years a-singin.
Mornin time an evenin time an
Summer time an winter time.

Mornin time an evenin time an
Summer time an winter time.

Oh, my porgy, my man, porgy.

[simultaneously]
From dis minute Im tellin you, I keep dis vow:
Oh, my bessie, wes happy now. we is one now.
