God Bless the Child

Arthur Herzog, Billie Holiday

Them that's got shall have
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says 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 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

Money you've got lots of friends
They're crowding around your door
But when you're gone and spending ends
They don't come 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
