Bess, you is my woman now
You is, you is!
An' you mus' laugh an' sing an' dance
For two instead of one
Want no wrinkle on yo' brow
Nohow
Because the sorrow of the past is all done done
Oh, Bess, My Bess
The real happiness has just begun

Bess, you is my woman now
You is, you is
An' I ain' never goin' nowhere ‘less you share the fun
There's no wrinkle on my brow
Nohow!
But I ain' goin', with you I'm stayin'

Bess, you is my woman now
I'm yours forever more

There's no wrinkle on my brow
Nohow!
But I ain' goin'! You hear me sayin'
If you ain' goin', with you I'm stayin'

Bess, you is my woman now
I'm yours forever
Mornin' time an' evеnin' time an'
Summer time an' wintеr time
Mornin' time an' evenin' time an'
Summer time to winter time
Bess…
