Porgy (Live at the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport, RI, June 30, 1960

[Spoken Intro: Nina Simone]
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 MacHugh

I got my man now
I got Porgy
My baby understands now
I got my Porgy
I'm through with bymays
His way is may 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 changing my style- my way of living
Glad I've stopped taking and started giving
I got my man
Got my Porgy
Now

Though you say he's not much for to look and see
Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma 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, started giving
I've got my man
I've got my Porgy
Now

(Yeah)
