I Loves You, Porgy 1935 'Porgy And Bess'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 09 Apr 2005

[Bess:] I wants to stay here,
but I ain't worthy.
You is too decent to understan'
for when I see him,
he hypnotize me
when he take hol' of me
with his hot han'
Someday I know he's comin' back to call me.
He's goin' to handle me an' hol' me so.
It's goin' to be like dyin'
Porgy, deep in side me.
But when he calls I know I have to go.
[Porgy:] If dere warn't no crown, Bess,
if dere was only just you an' Porgy, what den?
I loves you
[Bess:] Porgy, don' let him take me,
don' let him handle me
an' drive me mad,
If you kin keep me,
I wants to stay here wid you for ever,
an' I be glad.

[Porgy:] There, there, Bess,
you don' need to be afraid no mo'
You's picked up happiness and laid yo' worries down,
you goin' to live easy, yo goin' to live high.
You goin' to outshine ev'ry woman in dis town.

An' remember when Crown come,
that's my bus'ness.
Bess.

[Bess:] I loves you, Porgy,
don' let him take me,
don' let him handle me
with his hot han'
if you can keep me,
I wants to stay here wid you for ever
I got my man.
