Bess You Is My Woman - Pearl Bailey

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 yo' brow

Nohow

Because the sorrow of the past is all done, done

Oh, Bess, my Bess

Porgy, I’s yo' 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 yo' woman now

I’s yours forever

Mornin' time and evenin' time and

Summer time and winter time

Mornin' time and evenin' time and

Summer time and winter time

Bess, you got yo' man

Bess, you is my woman now and forever

Ths life is jes' begun

Bess, we two is one

Now and forever

Oh, Bess, don’t mind those women

You got yo' Porgy

I knows you means it I seen it in yo' eyes, Bess

We’ll go swingin'

Through the years a-singin'

Mornin' time and evenin' time and

Summer time and winter time

Mornin' time and evenin' time and

Summer time and winter time

Oh, my Porgy, my man, Porgy

My Bess, my Bess

From this minute I’m tellin' you

I keep this vow: Porgy, I’s yo' woman now

From this minute I’m tellin' you, I keep this vow

Oh, my Bessie, we’s happy now;

We is one now
