Dubose Heyward Bess, You Is My Woman Now Lyrics

PORGY
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 de past is all done done.
Oh, Bess, my Bess,
De real happiness is jes' begun.

BESS
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 I'm stayin'.
Porgy, I's yo' woman now, I's yours forever
Mornin' time an' evenin time an summer time
an' winter time.

PORGY
Mornin' time an' evenin' time an summer time
an' winter time, Bess, you got yo' man.

PORGY
Bess, you is my woman now an' forever.
Dis life is jes' begun.
Bess, we two is one now an' forever.
Oh, Bess, don' min' dose women.
You got yo' Porgy, you loves yo' Porgy
I knows you means it, I seen it in yo' eyes, Bess.
We'll go swingin' through de years a-singin'
Hmmm...Mornin' time an' evenin' time an' summer time
an' winter time.
My Bess, my Bess, from dis minute I'm tellin' you,
I keep dis vow;
Oh, my Bessie, we's happy now,
We is one now.

BESS
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 I'm stayin'.
Porgy, I's yo woman now! I's yours forever.
Mornin' time an' evenin' time an' summer time an' winter

Oh, my Porgy, my man Porgy,
From dis minute I'm tellin' you, I keep dis vow;
Porgy, I's yo' woman now.
