Bess, You Is My Woman lyrics
by George Gershwin
[Verse 1: Harry Belafonte]
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 has just begun
[Verse 2: Lena Horne]
Porgy, I'm your woman now
I is, I is
And I ain't never goin' nowhere 'less you share 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'm your woman now
I'm yours forever
[Chorus: Lena Horne & Harry Belafonte]
Mornin' time and evenin' time, summer time and winter time
Mornin' time and evenin' timе and summer time and winter timе
Bess, you got your man
[Verse 2: Lena Horne & Harry Belafonte]
Porgy, I'm your woman now (Bess, you're my woman now and forever)
I is, I is! And I ain't never goin' nowhere (This life has just begun)
'Less you share the fun (Bess, we two are one, now and forever)
There's no wrinkle on my brow (Bess, don't mind those woman)
Nohow (You've got your Porgy, you love your Porgy)
But I ain't goin', you hear me sayin'
If you ain't goin', with you I'm stayin'
Porgy, I'm your woman now (We'll go swingin' through the years)
I'm yours forever (A-singin')
[Chorus: Lena Horne & Harry Belafonte]
Mornin' time and evenin' time and summer time and winter time
Mornin' time and evenin' time and summer time and winter time
[Outro: Lena Horne, Harry Belafonte, Both]
Oh, my Porgy (My Bess)
My man, Porgy (My Bess)
From this minute I'm tellin' you
I keep this vow
Porgy (Oh, my Bessie)
I'm your woman now (We're happy now, we are one)
Now
