"God Bless The Child" lyrics
(originally by Billie Holiday)
Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Well, money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding around your door
But when its gone and spending ends
Don't you know, they don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't you dare take too much
Cause Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
That's got his own
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Well, money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding around your door
But when its gone and spending ends
Don't you know, they don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't you dare take too much
Cause Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
That's got his own
