[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!
|
