Summertime (Reprise)

CHORUS
Clara, Clara, don't you be downhearted
Jake...

MARIA
What we gonna do with this poor motherless child?

BESS
What we gonna do... Clara last left a word, it was for me to take care her baby till she got back
She's dead in the storm, so... this baby belongs to me, seem like...

SPORTING LIFE
(Laughs)

MARIA
You low-lived skunk, do you get no shame, laughin' at these poor women singin' for Clara, and for all their men lost in the storm!

SPORTING LIFE
(Laughs)
I ain't see no sense in makin' such a fuss over a man when he's dead; if a gal loses her man there's plenty o' men still livin' what likes good lookin' gals.

PORGY
Sure she got a man

SPORTING LIFE
I see more'n that, brother, Bess got herself two mens.

MARIA
Bess has two men? Crown is dead, or do you know...

SPORTING LIFE
I ain' tellin' you nothin'

BESS (Singing to Clara's baby)
Summertime an' the livin' is easy,
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high.
Oh your daddy's rich and your ma' is good lookin'
So hush, little baby, don't you cry,
Ah....
Don't you cry.

(Bess leaves window)
