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 wants to stay here
With you forever and I'll be glad

I loves you Porgy,
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me
With his hot hand
If you can keep me
I want to stay here with you forever
I got my man

Someday, I know he's coming back to call me
He's gonna handle me and hold me so
It's gonna be like dying, Porgy, deep inside me
But when he calls I know I have to go

Porgy, I is your brother now I is
I isn't dying, never going nowhere
Less he shares the farm
Want no wrinkle on my brow
Know how?

Because the sorrow of the past is all done done
My Porgy, now the real happiness has just begun
Want no wrinkle on your brow
Know how?

And I ain't going, your hear me saying
If you ain't going with you I'm staying
Porgy, I is your brother now
I is yours forever

Morning time and evening time
And summer time and winter time
Oh, my Porgy, my man Porgy
From this minute I'm telling you
I keep this vow
Porgy, I is your brother now
