Bess, You Is My Woman Now

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 is just begun

Porgy, I's your woman now

I is, I is

And I ain't never goin' nowhere 'less you shares 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's your woman now

I's yours forever

Mornin' time and evenin' time and summer time and winter time

Bess, you got your man

Bess, you is my woman now (Porgy, I's your woman now)

And forever (I is)

This life is just begun (I is! And I ain't never goin' nowhere)

Bess, we two is one, now and forever ('Less you shares the fun)

Oh, Bess, don't mind those women (There's no wrinkle on my)

You got your Porgy, you loves your Porgy (Brow, nohow, but)

I knows you means it (I ain't goin', you hear me sayin')

I seen it in your eyes, Bess (If you ain't goin', with you I'm stayin')

We'll go swingin' through the years (Porgy, I's your woman now)

A-singin' (I's yours forever)

Hmm (Mornin' time and evenin' time and summer time and winter time)

My Bess, my Bess (Oh, my Porgy, my man Porgy)

From this minute I'm tellin' you

I keep this vow

Oh, my Bess (Porgy)

We's happy now, we is one now (I's your woman now)
