Bess, You Is My Woman Now

(album: Circulate - 1961)

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,
Nohow!
Because the sorrow of the past is all done done.
Oh, Bess, My Bess!
The real happiness has just begun.

Bess, you is my woman now,
You is, you is!
An' I aing never going nowhere 'less you share the fun
There's no wrinkle on my brow,
Nohow!
But I aing going, with you I'm stayin'!

Bess, you is my woman now,
I'm yours forever more.

There's no wrinkle on my brow,
Nohow!
But I aing goin'! You hear me saying,
If you aing going, with you I'm stayin'!

Bess, you is my woman now,
I'm yours forever.
Morning time an' evening time an'
Summer time an' winter time.

Morning time an' evening time an'
Summer time to winter time.
Bess...
