I Love You, Porgy - Billie Holiday

Miscellaneous

(I LOVE YOU) PORGY

George and Ira Gershwin / DuBose Heyward

I love you, Porgy

Don’t let him take me

Don’t let him handle me

And drive me mad

If you can keep me

I want to stay with you forever

And I’ll be glad

I love you, Porgy

Don’t let him take me

Don’t 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 he’s coming

Back to call me

He’s gonna handle me

And hold me so

It’s going to be like dying, Porgy

When he calls me

But when he comes, I know

I’ll have to go
