God Bless The Child     Credits: A.Herzong Jr & Billie Holiday     Appears On: Mary Black     Language: English

Lyrics:

Them that's got, shall get
Them that's not, shall lose
So the Bible says, but it still is news

Chorus:
Mama may have, papa may have
God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own

Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can have your fill, but don't take too much

(Chorus)

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding 'round the door
Money's gone, and spending ends
They don't come 'round no more

The strong get more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade

(Chorus)

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding 'round the door
Money's gone, and spending ends
They don't come 'round no more

(Chorus)

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