[MARIA]
Why you been out on that wharf so long, Clara?
You got no cause to worry 'bout your man
[MARIA, spoken]
This gonna be a fine day
[CLARA]
I never seen the water look so black
It sits there waiting, holding its breath
Listening for that hurricane bell
[MARIA, spoken]
Hurricane bell!
Lord, child, there ain't goin' be no hurricane
[MARIA]
I's gettin' old now and I ain't hear that bell but four time in my life
[MARIA, spoken]
Go along to the baby now and quiet down
[Suddenly the wind rises and the hurricane bell sounds.]
[VOICE, spoken]
Eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen
Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty
[CLARA, spoken]
Jake! Jake! Jake!
Why You Been Out On That Wharf So Long, Clara? was written by George Gershwin & DuBose Heyward.
