God Bless The Child

God Bless The Child
music by Arthur Herzog, Jr.
lyric by Billie Holiday

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 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 o' friends, crowdin' around the door,
When you're gone and spendin' 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.
He just worry 'bout nothin' cause he's got his own...
