NINA SIMONE
PORGY
This song talks about the same Porgy
That we've talked about for two years now
His name is Porgy
Only this one was written by
Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh

I got my man now
I got Porgy
My baby understands now
I got my Porgy
I'm through with byways
His way is my way forever more

Lord when I feel
His arms around me
Knowing he can't go on
Without me
I wants to beg for a chance
To camp at his door

Say he's not much
For to look and see
He's lazy and no count
As he can be
He's got the kind
Of a love for me

So I'm changin' my style
My way of livin'
Glad I've stopped takin'
And started givin'
I got my man
Got my Porgy now

Though you say he's not much
For to look and see
He's lazy and no count
As he can be
He's got the kind
Of a love for me

Oh oh baby I'm changing
My style and way of living
Glad I've stopped taking
And started giving
I got my man
I got my Porgy now
