Porgy and Bess: Oh, Nobody Knows When de Lord Is Gonna Call

Oh, nobody knows when the Lord is gonna call

Roll them bones, roll

It may be in the summertime and may be in the fall

Roll them bones, roll

But you got to leave your baby and your home and all

So

Roll them bones

Oh my brother, oh my brother, oh my brother

Roll them bones, roll them bones

Roll, roll

Seems like these bones don't give me nothin' but boxcars tonight

It was the same two weeks ago, and the game broke me

I don't like that kind of luck

Damn you, give me those bones!

What do you say to these, Jake?

Them's the same cockeyed bones

What clean the game out last Saturday night

If they rolls in this game, I rolls out

Honey boy!

Come on down, Robbins, we're waitin' for you

Honey, don't play tonight

Do like I say

I been sweatin' all day

Night time is man's time

He got a right to forget his troubles

He got a right to play

If you hadn't been drinkin' you wouldn't talk to me that way

You ain't never hear Lord Jesus say nothin' 'bout got to play

There you goes again, Serena

Listen to what I say

I works all the week

Sunday got to pray

But Saturday night

A man's got a right to play

A man's got a right to play

Yes, sir, that's right

That old lady of mine is hell on savin' money to join that buryin' lodge

I say spend it while you're still alive and kickin'

Lord, I is tired this night

I'm done with cotton

Better come along with me on the Sea Gull

I got room for another fisherman

That suits me

This cotton hook done swung its last bale of cotton

Here

Who wants a cotton hook?

Summertime (Seven come, seven)

And the living is easy (Come to pappy)

Throw that beautiful number

Fish are jumpin' (Come seven to me)

And the cotton (Yeah, man)

Is high (I'll bet he's wrong! I'll bet he's right! Gettin' hot!)

Oh, your daddy's rich (Come seven! Shoot!)

And your ma is good lookin' (Made it! He made it!)

So hush, little baby

Don't you cry (Old man seven come down from heaven)

Don't you cry

What, that child ain't asleep yet?

Give him to me

I'll fix him for you
