Bess You Is My Woman

Bess, you is my woman now
You is, you is
And you must laugh and sing and dance
For two instead of one

Want no wrinkle on your brow
Nohow
Because the sorrow of the past is all done, done
Oh, Bess, my Bess!
The real happiness is just begun

Bess, you is my woman now and forever
This life is just begun
Bess, we two is one
Now and forever

One more wrinkle on your brow
Nohow
No, I ain't goin'
You hear me sayin'
If you ain't goin'
With you I'm staying

Bess, you is my woman now
You is my woman
Mornin' time
And evenin' time
And summertime
And wintertime

Oh, my Bess
Oh, my Bess
Bess, you is my woman
Now
