George and ira gershwin / dubose heyward



I love you, porgy

Don't let him take me

Don't let him handle me

And drive me mad



If you can keep me

I want to stay with you forever

And i'll be glad



I love you, porgy

Don't let him take me

Don't let him handle me

With his hot hands



If you can keep me

I want to stay with you forever

I like my man



Someday i know he's coming

Back to call me

He's gonna handle me

And hold me so



It's going to be like dying, porgy

When he calls me

But when he comes, i know

I'll have to go
