Lyrics God Bless The Child - Dinah Washington

Them that's got shall get
And 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

Well, money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding around your door
But when it's gone, and spending ends
Don't you know, they don't come, no more?

Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't you dare take too much
'Cause Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
That's got his own
