God Bless The Child lyrics
(B. Holiday / A. Herzog)

Those that s got shall get
Those that s not shall lose
So the bible said and it still is true

Mama may have
Papa may have
But God bless the child that s got his own
That s got his own

Well the strong seem to get 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

And when you got money
You got lots of friends
Crawling round your door
When the money s gone
And all your spending ends
They won t be around no more

Rich relations may give you
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself but don t take too much

Cos Mama may have
Papa may have
But God bless the child that s got his own
That s got his own

When you got money
You got lots of friends
Crawling round your door
When the money s gone
And all your spending ends
They won t be around no more

Rich relations may give you
A 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 who can turn round and say
I ve got my own
