Oh, Doctor Jesus Lyrics by Wilma Shakesnider

Gershwin: Porgy and Bess

0

[SERENA]
Oh, doctor Jesus
Who done trouble the water in the Sea of Galilee
[PORGY, spoken]
Amen
[SERENA]
And likewise who done cast the devil out of the afflicted
Time and time again
[PORGY & PETER, spoken]
Time and time again (Oh, my Jesus)
[SERENA]
Oh, doctor Jesus
What make you ain't lay your hand on this poor sister's head
[LILY]
Oh, my Father
[SERENA]
And chase the devil out of her
Down a steep place into the sea like you used to do
Time and time again?
[PORGY]
Time and time again
[PORGY, spoken]
Oh, my Jesus!
[SERENA]
Lift this poor cripple up out of the dust
[PORGY]
Allelujah!
[SERENA]
And lift up his woman and make her well
Time and time again
And save us all for Jesus' sake, amen
[PORGY, PETER & MARIA, spoken]
Amen
[SERENA, spoken]
Alright, Porgy
Doctor Jesus done take the case
By 5 o'clock that woman is going to be well
