porgy (alternate version) - ethel waters lyrics

Loading...

there ain’t no man in charleston
a stranger to big crown’s best
catfish row is closed now
to the sight of this old red dress
but there is one they call porgy
and it seems like that man understood
got his trust in me, lord
and i’s just gonna stick for good

i’s got a man now, i’s got porgy
i understand now since i’ve got porgy
i’m through with byways
and his ways is my ways forevermore
lord, just to feel his arms about me
knowing he can’t get on without me
i wants to beg for a chance just to camp by his door

course he ain’t much more to look and see
lazy and no count as he can be
but he’s got that good kind of love for me

that’s why i’m changing my style and this old way of livin’
glad i’ve stopped takin’ and started givin’
oh, i’s got a man, i’ve got porgy now

for him to hold me in his arms and whispеr
i loves you
you have him near mе just to cheer me
how could i get blue?
deep in my heart, oh, i get such a thrill
we’ll never part, that i’m sure we never will
’cause love, true love will find a way, never fear
there’ll come a day, maybe my dear
so i’ll wait, trust fate that we’ll be happy someday
on just that precious little thing called love

and that’s why i’m changing my style and this old way of livin’
glad i’ve stopped takin’ and started givin’
oh, i’s got a man, i’ve got porgy now
