Bess, you is my woman now,
You is, you is!
An' you must laugh and sing and dance
For two instead of one.
Want no wrinkle on yo' brow,
Nohow!
Because the sorrow of the past is all done done.
Oh, Bess, My Bess!
The real happiness has just begun.
Bess, you is my woman now,
You is, you is!
An' I ain't never going nowhere 'less you share the fun
There's no wrinkle on my brow,
Nohow!
But I ain't going, with you I'm staying!
Bess, you is my woman now,
I'm yours forever more.
There's no wrinkle on my brow,
Nohow!
But I ain't going! You hear me saying,
If you ain't going, with you I'm staying!
Bess, you is my woman now,
I'm yours forever.
Morning time an' evening time and
Summer time an' winter time.
Morning time and evening time and
Summer time to winter time.
Bess...
