What You Want Wid Bess?

Lyrics

[BESS] Oh, what you want with Bess? She's gettin' old now Take a fine young gal For to satisfy Crown Look at this chest And look at these arms you got You know how it always been with me These five years I been your woman You could kick me in the street Then when you wanted me back You could whistle and there I was Back again, lickin' your hand There's plenty better lookin' gal than Bess [BESS & CROWN] Can't you see (What I wants with other woman?) I'm with Porgy, now and forever (I gots a woman, yes) I am his woman (And that is you, yes) He would die without me (That is you, yes) Oh, Crown, won't you let me go (I need you now and you're mine) To my man (Just as long as I want you) To my man? (No cripple goin' take my woman from me) He is a cripple (You got a man tonight) And needs my love (And that is Crown) All my love (Yes, Crown, yes Crown) What you want with Bess? (You're my woman, Bess) Oh, let me go to my man (I'm tellin' you, now I'm your man) [BESS] What you want with Bess? [BESS, spoken] Lemme go, Crown Hear that boat? It's goin' without me [CROWN] You ain't goin' nowhere! [BESS] Take your hands off me, I say Your hands, your hands, your hands [CROWN] I knows you ain't change With you and me it always be the same
