Oh Bess, Oh Where’s My Bess Songtext
von Louis Armstrong & Ella Fitzgerald

PORGY
I ain′ axin' yo′ opinion.
Oh, Bess, oh where's my Bess,
Won't somebody tell me where?
I ain′ care what she say,
I ain′ care what she done,
Won't somebody tell me where′s my Bess?
Bess, Oh, Lawd,


My Bess! I want her now,
Widout her I can't go on.
I counted de days dat I was gone
Till I got home to see her face.
Won′t somebody tell me where's my Bess?
I want her so, my gal, my Bess,
Where is she?
Oh Gawd, in yo′ big Heav'n
Please show me where I mus' go,
Oh give me de strength, show me de way!
Tell me de truth, where is she, where is my gal,
