Introduction; Summertime

A woman is a sometime thing

Gone, gone, gone

My man's gone now

I got plenty o' nuttin'

Bess, you is my woman

It ain't necessarily so

What you want wid Bess?

I loves you, Porgy

There's a boat dat's leavin' soon for New York

Oh Bess, oh where's my Bess

Oh Lawd, I'm on my way.
