Here come the honey man
Yes, ma'am, he's the honey man
You got honey in the comb?
Yes, ma'am, I got honey in the comb
And is your honey cheap?
Yes, ma'am, my honey very cheap
Here come the honey man
Well, here come my old man
Now give me the money
Now go sit and rest
Hey, Simeon! Here comes Porgy
Go open the gate for him
ย
He's the old crap shot
Now we'll have our game
Evening, ladies
Hello, boys
Luck been ridin' high with Porgy today
I got a pocket full of the buckram money
And it's goin' to any man
Who got the guts to shoot it off me
Lay it down, son
We'll take it
ย
All right, men, scull 'em
We done waited long enough
You best watch the crowd
I see him comin', takin' the whole sidewalk
And he looks like he ain't gonna stand no foolin'
Is Bess with him?
Listen to Porgy
I think he's soft on Brown's Bess
I ain't never swapped two words with Bess
Porgy got two good cents
To look twice at that liquor-guzzlin' slut
That gal Bess ain't fit for God-fearin' ladies to associate with
Can't you keep your mouth off Bess?
Between the God-fearin' ladies and the God-damnin' men
That gal ain't got a chance
Hey now, judge here, Porgy soft on her?
No, no, brother
Porgy ain't soft on no woman
They pass by singin'
They pass by cryin'
Always lookin'
They look in my door and they keep on movin'
When God make cripple, He mean him to be lonely
ย
Night time, day time
He got to travel that lonesome road
Night time, day time
He got to travel that lonesome road
