Selections from George Gershwin’s Folk Opera Porgy and Bess

0

[PORGY]
Bess, you is my woman now
You is, you is
And you must laugh and sing and dance for two instead of one
Want no wrinkle on your brow
Nohow
Because the sorrow of the past is all done, done
Oh, Bess, my Bess!
The real happiness is just begun
[BESS]
Porgy, I's your woman now
I is, I is
And I ain't never goin' nowhere 'less you shares the fun
There's no wrinkle on my brow
Nohow
But I ain't goin', you hear me sayin'
If you ain't goin', with you I'm stayin'
Porgy, I's your woman now
I's yours forever
[PORGY]
Mornin' time and evenin' time and summer time and winter time
Bess, you got your man
[PORGY & BESS]
Bess, you is my woman now (Porgy, I's your woman now)
And forever (I is)
This life is just begun (I is! And I ain't never goin' nowhere)
Bess, we two is one, now and forever ('Less you shares the fun)
Oh, Bess, don't mind those women (There's no wrinkle on my)
You got your Porgy, you loves your Porgy (Brow, nohow, but)
I knows you means it (I ain't goin', you hear me sayin')
I seen it in your eyes, Bess (If you ain't goin', with you I'm stayin')
We'll go swingin' through the years (Porgy, I's your woman now)
A-singin' (I's yours forever)
Hmm (Mornin' time and evenin' time and summer time and winter time)
My Bess, my Bess (Oh, my Porgy, my man Porgy)
[PORGY & BESS]
From this minute I'm tellin' you
I keep this vow
[PORGY & BESS]
Oh, my Bess (Porgy)
We's happy now, we is one now (I's your woman now)
