God Bless The Child (by Billie Holiday) Lyrics

Them that's got shall have

 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
