Holiday Billie-GOD BLESS THE CHILD
Billie Holiday / Arthur Herzog Jr.
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
Yes, the strong gets 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
Crowding round the door
When you re gone, spending ends
They don t come no more
Rich relations give
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 that s got his own
That s got his own
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that s got his own
That s got his own
He just worry bout nothin
Cause he s got his own |
