Bess You Is My Woman Now
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,

Because de sorrow of de past is all done done
Oh, bess, my bess!
Bess:

An' i ain't never goin' nowhere 'less you shares de fun.
Dere's no wrinkle on my brow,
