(1935) Ira Gershwin, DuBose Heyward, George Gershwin



I loves you, Porgy,

Don't let him take me

Don't let him handle me

And drive me mad

If you can keep me

I wanna stay here with you forever

And I'll be glad



Yes I loves you, Porgy,

Don't let him take me

Don't let him handle me

With his hot hands

If you can keep me

I wants to stay here with you forever

I've got my man



I loves you, Porgy,

Don't let him take me

Don't let him handle me

And drive me mad

If you can keep me

I wanna stay here with you forever

I've got my man



Someday I know he's coming to call me

He's going to handle me and hold me

So, it' going to be like dying, Porgy

When he calls me

But when he comes I know I'll have to go



I loves you, Porgy,

Don't let him take me

Honey, don't let him handle me

and drive me mad

If you can keep me

I wanna stay here with you forever

I've got my man
