Porgy

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
Seems like that man understood
Got his trust in me, Lord
And I's gonna stick for good

I've got a man now, I've got Porgy
I understand now 'cause 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 want 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

I's changing my style and that old way of livin'
Glad I've stopped takin' and started givin'
Yеs, I've got a man, I've got Porgy now

For him to hold me in his arms and whispеr
I love you
You have him near me just to cheer me
How could I get blue?
Deep in my heart, how I get such a thrill
Why, 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
I'll wait, trust fate that we'll be happy someday
On just a precious little thing called love

That's why I'm changing my style and that old way of livin'
Glad I've stopped takin' and I've started givin'
Oh, I've got a man, I got Porgy now
