"God Bless The Child" lyrics
"God Bless The Child"
(originally by Billie Holiday)
Them that's got shall get
Them that not shall lose
So the Bible says
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
And Papa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
Money you've got lots of friends
Hangin' round your door
When you're gone and spendin' ends
They don't come back no more
Rich relations give
Crusts of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have
Papa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
