Porgy & Bess Medley |
| Listen to your mother warn you |
| Fore you start a traveling |
| Women, they born you, love you, and mourn you |
| But a woman is a sometime thing |
| Yes a woman is a sometime thing |
| Your mama is the first to name you |
| And she’ll tie you to her apron strings |
| Then she’ll shame you, and she’ll blame you |
| Till your woman comes to claim you |
| Cause a woman is a sometime thing |
| Yes a woman is a sometime thing |
| Don’t you never let a woman grieve you |
| Just cause she’s got your wedding ring |
| She’ll love you and deceive you |
| Then she’ll take your clothes and leave you |
| Cause a woman is a sometime thing |
| Yes a woman is a sometime thing |
| Yes a woman is a sometime thing |
| Yes a woman is a sometime thing |
| Summertime |
| And the living is easy |
| Fish are jumping |
| And the cotton is high |
| Oh your daddy’s rich |
| And you’re ma is good looking |
| So hush little baby |
| Don’t you cry |
| One of these mornings |
| You’re gonna rise up singing |
| Then you’ll spread your wings |
| And you’ll take to the sky |
| But till that morning cuz |
| There ain’t nothing can harm you |
| With daddy and mama standing by |
| Ooh |
| There’s a boat that’s leavin' soon for New York |
| Come with me, that’s where we belong, baby |
| You and me can live that high life in New York |
| Come with me, that’s where we belong |
| That’s where we belong |
| It' ain’t necessarily so |
| It ain’t necessarily so |
| Things that you’re liable |
| To read in the bible |
| It ain’t necessarily so |
| David was small but oh my |
| Little David was small but oh my |
| He fought big Goliath |
| Who fell down and dieth |
| Little David was small but oh my |
| Scared he was |
| Scared he was |
| Jonah he lived in a whale |
| Jonah he lived in a whale |
| For he made his home in that fishes abdomen oh |
| Jonah he lived in a whale |
| Moses was found in a stream |
| Don’t you know that Moses was found in a stream |
| He floated on the water till old Pharaoh’s daughter |
| She fished him she says from that stream |
| Scared he was |
| Scared he was |
| It ain’t necessarily so |
| Said it ain’t necessarily so |
| Well you tell all your children that the devil is a billain |
| But it ain’t, ain’t necessarily so |
| To get into heaven |
| Don’t snap for a seven |
| If clean, don’t have no fault |
| Oh take the gospel whenever it’s possible |
| But with a grain of salt |
| The pharaohs live 900 years |
| The pharaohs live 900 years |
| But who calls that living |
| When no gal’s gonna give in |
| To no man who wants 900 years |
| I’m preaching the sermon to show |
| That it ain’t nessa, ain’t nessa |
| Ain’t nessa, ain’t nessa, ain’t necessarily so |
| I’ve got plenty of nuttin' |
| Nuttin' is plenty for me |
| I got not car, got no mule |
| I got not misery |
| Folks with plenty of plenty |
| They’ve got a lock on the door |
| Afraid somebody’s gonna rob em |
| While they’re out making more, what for |
| I got not lock on the door, that’s no way to be |
| They can steal the rug from the floor, that’s ok with me |
| Cause the things that I prize |
| Like the stars in the skies |
| Are all free |
| I’ve got plenty of nuttin' |
| Nuttin' is plenty for me |
| I’ve got my guy, got my song |
| Got Heaven the whole day long |
| Got my guy, got my Lord |
| Got my song |
| I got plenty of nuttin' |
| Nuttin’s plenty for me |
| I’ve got the sun, got the moon |
| Got the deep blue sea |
| Folks with plenty of plenty |
| Gotta pray the whole darn day |
| Seems with plenty |
| You sure gotta worry |
| How to the devil away, away |
| I ain’t frettin about hell till the time arrives |
| Never wary long as I’m well |
| Never one to strive to be good to be bad, what the hell I’m just glad |
| I’m alive |
| I’ve got plenty of nuttin' |
| Nuttin’s plenty for me |
| Got my guy, got my song |
| Got heaven the whole way long |
| Got my man, got my Lord |
| Got my song, got my man |
| There’s a boat that’s leaving soon for New York |
| Come with me, that’s where we belong |
| That’s where we belong |
