Lyrics:

Billie Holiday / Arthur Herzog Jr.Them that's got shall getThem that's not shall loseSo the Bible said and it still is newsMama may have, Papa may haveBut God bless the child that's got his ownThat's got his ownYes, the strong gets moreWhile the weak ones fadeEmpty pockets don't ever make the gradeMama may have, Papa may haveBut God bless the child that's got his ownThat's got his ownMoney, you've got lots of friendsCrowding round the doorWhen you're gone, spending endsThey don't come no moreRich relations giveCrust of bread and suchYou can help yourselfBut don't take too muchMama may have, Papa may haveBut God bless the child that's got his ownThat's got his ownMama may have, Papa may haveBut God bless the child that's got his ownThat's got his ownHe just worry 'bout nothin'Cause he's got his own

Billie Holiday God Bless The Child
