The Buzzard Song Lyrics by Donnie Ray Albert

Gershwin: Porgy and Bess

0

[A woman screams.]
[PORGY]
Look out, that's a buzzard
[ENSEMBLE]
Drive him off
Don't let him light
Chase away that buzzard
[ARCHDALE, spoken]
What is it?
What's the matter?
[PORGY]
Boss, that bird mean trouble
Once the buzzard fold his wing and light over your house
All your happiness done dead
Buzzard, keep on flyin' over
Take along your shadow
Ain't nobody dead this mornin'
Livin's just begun
Two is strong where one is feeble
Man and woman livin', workin'
Sharin' grief and sharin' laughter
And love like August sun
Trouble
Is that you over yonder lookin' lean and hungry?
Don't you let that buzzard keep you hangin' round my door
Ain't you heard the news this mornin'?
Step out, brother, hit the gravel
Porgy who you used to feed on
Don't live here no morе
[PORGY, spoken]
Ha, ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Buzzard, on your way!
[PORGY]
Old age, what is you anyhow?
Nothin' but bein' lonely
Pack your things and fly from hеre
Carry grief and pain
There's two folks livin' in this shelter
Eatin', sleepin', singin', prayin'
Ain't no such thing as loneliness
And Porgy's young again
[PORGY & ENSEMBLE]
Buzzard, keep on flyin'
[PORGY & ENSEMBLE]
Porgy's young again (Never come again)
