Bess is gone
And Serena take this child
To give him a Christian raisin'
You ain't mean Bess dead?
She worse than dead, Porgy
She gave herself to the devil
But she still livin'
And she not far away
Alive! Bess is alive!
Where Bess gone?
New York
Where is dat New York?
Where dat?
A thousand mile from here
Which way New York?
This way, Porgy
Passin' by some house
Bring mah goat
On you go with goat, Porgy
You best not go any place
Bring mah goat
You better stay with your friend, Porgy
Won't nobody bring mah goat!
You'll be happy here
And me tell you
You can't find her, Porgy
Goodbye, dear Porgy
Where you going?
Where you going, Porgy?
You say Bess gone to New York
Dat's where I going
I got to be with Bess
God help me to find her
I'm on my way!
