George Gershwin Medley - I Loves You, Porgy / Summertime (Live at HBO’s from Washington, D.C, 1997) Lyrics

I loves you Porgy
Don't let him take me
Don't let him handle me and
Drive me mad
If you can keep me
I wants to stay here
With you forever, and I'd be glad

Someday, I know he's comin' back to call me
He's gonna handle me and hold me so
It's gonna be like dyin', Porgy, deep inside me
But when he calls I know I have to go

Porgy, I's yo' woman now
I is, I is
And I ain't never goin' nowhere
'Less you shares the fun

[Intruments moment]

Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's, oh, good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry
One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

But till that morning
There's a'nothing, nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by
Don't you cry, baby

(Summertime) Summertime
Don't you cry, no baby
There's a'nothing can harm you
Don't harm, Don't harm, Oh!
Harm, cry...

I got my man
Oh, man
