Porgy, I Is Your Woman Now

(앨범: Nina Simone With Strings - 1966)

[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,
Nohow,
Because de sorrow of de past is all done done
Oh, Bess, my Bess!

[Bess:]
Porgy, I's yo' woman now,
I is, I is!
An' I ain't never going nowhere 'less you shares de fun.
Dere's no wrinkle on my brow,
Nohow,
But I ain't goin'! You hear me saying,
If you aing going, wid you I'm stayin'!

Porgy, I's yo' woman now!
I's yours forever
Morning time an' evening time an'
Summer time an' winter time.

[Porgy:]
Morning time an' evening time an'
Summer time an' winter time.

Bess, you is my woman now and forever.
Dis life is jes' begun,

Now an' forever.
Oh, bess, don't ming dose women.
You got yo' Porgy.
I knows you means it,

We'll go swinging
Through de years a-singing.

Summer time an' winter time.

Summer time an' winter time.
