GOD BLESS THE CHILD |
Billie Holiday / Arthur Herzog Jr. |
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 |
Money, you’ve got lots of friends |
Crowding round the door |
When you’re gone, spending ends |
They don’t come no more |
Rich relations give |
Crust 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 |
Mama may have, Papa may have |
But God bless the child that’s got his own |
That’s got his own |
He just worry 'bout nothin' |
Cause he’s got his own |
