George and Ira Gershwin / DuBose Heyward
I love 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 with you forever
And I’ll be glad
I love you, Porgy
Don’t let him take me
Don’t let him handle me
With his hot hands
If you can keep me
I want to stay with you forever
I like my man
Someday I know he’s coming
Back to call me
He’s gonna handle me
And hold me so
It’s going to be like dying, Porgy
When he calls me
But when he comes, I know
I’ll have to go
