by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 07 Apr 2005

[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 the past is all done, done.
Oh, Bess, my Bess!
De real happiness is jes' begun.

[Bess:] Porgy, I'se 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 staying.
Porgy, I'se yo' woman now!
I'se yours for ever,
mornin' time an' ev'nin' time
an' summer time an' winter time.

[Porgy:] Mornin' time an' ev'nin' time
an' summer time an' winter time;
Bess, you got yo' man.

[Bess:] Porgy, I'se 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 staying.
Porgy, I'se yo' woman now!
I'se yours for ever,
mornin' time an' ev'nin' time
an' summer time an' winter time.

[Porgy:] Mornin' time an' ev'nin' time
an' summer time an' winter time;

[Bess:] Oh, my Porgy, my man Porgy,
from dis minute I'm tellin' you,
I keep dis vow:
Porgy, I'se yo' woman now.
