Porgy

I ain' axin' yo' opinion.

Oh, bess, oh where's my bess,

Won't somebody tell me where?

I ain' care what she say,

I ain' care what she done,

Won't somebody tell me where's my bess?

Bess, oh, lawd,



My bess! i want her now,

Widout her i can't go on.

I counted de days dat i was gone

Till i got home to see her face.

Won't somebody tell me where's my bess?

I want her so, my gal, my bess,

Where is she?

Oh gawd, in yo' big heav'n

Please show me where i mus' go,

Oh give me de strength, show me de way!

Tell me de truth, where is she, where is my gal,

Where is my bess!
