Porgy (Live at the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport, RI, June 30, 1960

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro: Nina Simone] This song talks about the same Porgy that we've talked about for two years now. His name is Porgy. Only this one was written by Dorothy Fields and Jimmy MacHugh I got my man now I got Porgy My baby understands now I got my Porgy I'm through with bymays His way is may way Forever more Lord when I feel his arms around me Knowing he can't go on without me I wants to beg for a chance to camp at his door Say he's not much for to look and see He's lazy and no count as he can be He's got the kind of a love for me So I'm changing my style- my way of living Glad I've stopped taking and started giving I got my man Got my Porgy Now Though you say he's not much for to look and see Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma he's lazy and no count as he can be He's got the kind of a love for me Oh-oh baby I'm changing my style and way of living Glad I've stopped taking, started giving I've got my man I've got my Porgy Now (Yeah)
