Billie Holiday - God Bless The Child - Single Version Lyrics

Lyrics God Bless The Child - Single Version - Billie Holiday



Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that′s got his own
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, and 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
(God bless the child, the child that′s got his own)
