`I loves you porgy`

Today is the jazz ballad posting again after a long time.
It's called I love you porgy.

The song was composed in 1935 by George Gershwin and lyrics by Ira Gershwin.

Later, many artists, including Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Bill Evans, Miles Davis, and others, became widely known on the album, and it is one of the best songs known by many jazz fans.

I don't know if you felt it, but there's something unique about the title, right?
Even though the subject is I, the verb has "s".

Jazz is originally the music of black people who were sold or moved to the United States. The education level of blacks, which was very low at the time, sometimes uses slang, abbreviations, and grammatical expressions in their music, which is said to be intentional in a sense of resistance to white society.

• The lyrics of I loves you, porgy -

I loves you, porgy,

Dont let him take me

Dont let him handle me

And drive me mad

If you can keep me

I wanna stay here with you forever

And Ill be glad

Yes I loves you, porgy,

Dont let him take me

Dont let him handle me

With his hot hands

If you can keep me

I wants to stay here with you forever

Ive got my man

I loves you, porgy,

Dont let him take me

Dont let him handle me

And drive me mad

If you can keep me

I wanna stay here with you forever

Ive got my man

Someday I know hes coming to call me

Hes going to handle me and hold me

So, it going to be like dying, porgy

When he calls me

But when he comes I know Ill have to go

I loves you, porgy,

Dont let him take me

Honey, dont let him handle me

And drive me mad

If you can keep me

I wanna stay here with you forever

I`ve got my man
