Bess, you is my woman now,
You is, you is!
An´ you mus´ laugh an´ sing an´ dance
For two instead of one.
Want no wrinkle on yo´ brow,
Nohow,
Because de sorrow of de past is all done done
Oh, Bess, my Bess!
[Bess:]
Porgy, I´s yo´ woman now,
I is, I is!
An´ I ain´t never goin´ nowhere ´less you shares de fun.
Dere´s no wrinkle on my brow,
Nohow,
But I ain´t goin´! You hear me sayin´,
If you ain´ goin´, wid you I´m stayin´!
