"God Bless The Child" Lyrics

(Arthur Herzog, Jr./Billie Holiday)

Them that's got shall get
Them thats got shall loose
So the bible said
And it still is news
Cause Mama may have
And Papa may have

But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Yes the strong get smart
While the weak one's fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the great
Cause Mama may have
And Papa may have

But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Oh yeah
Money
Money you got lots of friends
Hanging 'round your door
When you're gone and spending it
We don't come no more

Which relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Cause Mama may have
And Papa May have

But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
