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, no-how
Because de sorrow
Of the past
Is all done done
Oh, Bess, my Bess,
De real happiness
Is jes’ begun!

Porgy, I’s yo’ woman now!
I is, I is!
An’ I ain’ never goin’ nowhere
Less you shares de fun
Dere’s no wrinkle
On my brow, no-how
But I ain’ goin’!
You hear me sayin’
If you-ain’ goin’ ,
Wid you l’m stayin’.
Porgy, I’s yo’ woman now,
I’s yours forever
Mornin’ time
An’ evenin’ time
An’ summer time
An’ winter time

Mornin’ time
An’ evenin’ time
An’ summer time

Now an’ forever
Oh Bess, don’ min’
Dose women

We’ll go swingin’
Through de years a-singin’
Hmmm…
