Billie Holiday
God Bless the Child
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Yes, the strong get smart
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
[Verse 3]
Now money, haha, you've got lots of friends
Crowdin' 'round the door
When you're gone and the spendin' ends
They don't come 'round 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
That's got his own
