Lyrics:

George and ira gershwin / dubose heyward



I love you, porgy

Dont let him take me

Dont let him handle me

And drive me mad



If you can keep me

I want to stay with you forever

And Ill be glad



I love you, porgy

Dont let him take me

Dont let him handle me

With his hot hands



If you can keep me

I want to stay with you forever

I like my man



Someday I know hes coming

Back to call me

Hes gonna handle me

And hold me so



Its going to be like dying, porgy

When he calls me

But when he comes, I know

Ill have to go
