Bess, You Is My Woman Lyrics by Marisa Monte

Marisa Monte Ao Vivo

1989

[Letra de "Bess, You Is My Woman" com Marisa Monte]
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, no how
Because the sorrow
Of the past
Is all done done
Oh, Bess, my Bess
The real happiness
Is just begun
Porgy, I's your woman now
I is, I is
And I ain’ never goin' nowhere
Less you share de fun
There's no wrinkle
On my brow, no how
But I ain’ goin'
You hear me sayin'
If you ain' goin'
With you I'm stayin'
Porgy, I's your woman now
I’s yours forever
Morning time and evening time
And summer time and winter time
Morning time and evening time
And summer time and winter time
Morning time and evening time
And summer time and winter time
Bess, you got your man
Bess, you is my woman
Now and forever
This life is jus’ begun
Bess we two is one
Now and forever
Oh Bess, don't mind
Those women
You got your Porgy
You loves your Porgy
I knows you means it
I seen it in yo’ eyes, Bess
We'll go swingin'
Through the years a singin'
Hmm morning time
And evening time
And summer time and winter time
Morning time
And evening time
And summer time and winter time
Oh, my Porgy
My man, Porgy
From this minute I’m tellin' you
I keep this vow, oh my Bessie
We's happy now
We is one now
