I Loves You Porgy/Summertime

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 want to stay here with you forever

And I'll be glad

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

Summertime,

And the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin'

And the cotton is high

Oh, Your daddy's rich

And your mamma's good lookin'

So hush little baby

Don't you cry

One of these mornings

You're going to rise up singing

Then you'll spread your wings

And you'll take to the sky

But until that morning

There's a'nothing can harm you

With your daddy and mammy standing by
