Ella Fitzgerald The Buzzard Song Lyrics

The Buzzard Song Lyrics

PORGY
 Boss, dat bird mean trouble.
 Once de buzzard fold his wing an` light over yo` house,
 all yo` happiness done dead.
 Buzzard keep on flyin` over, take along yo` shadow.
 Ain` nobody dead dis mornin`
 Livin`s jus` begun.
 Two is strong where one is feeble;
 man an` woman livin`, workin`,
 Sharin` grief an` sharin` laughter,
 An` love like Augus` sun.
 Trouble, is dat you over yonder
 lookin` lean an` hungry?
 Don` you let dat buzzard keep you
 hangin` round my do`.
 Ain` you heard de news this mornin`?
 Step out, brudder, hit de gravel;
 Porgy who you used to feed on,
 Don` live here no mo`
 Ha, ha, ha, ha! Buzzard, on yo` way!
 Ole age, what is you anyhow,
 nuttin` but bein` lonely.
 Pack yo` things an` fly from here,
 Carry grief an` pain.
 Dere`s two folks livin` in dis shelter
 Eatin`, sleepin`, singin`, prayin`.
 Ain` no such thing as loneliness.
 An` Porgy`s young again.

 PORGY AND CHORUS
 Buzzard, keep on flyin`,
 Porgy`s young again.
