"God Bless The Child" lyrics - ANDRA DAY

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 smart
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
They're crowding 'round your door
But when you're gone and spending ends
They don't come no more

Rich relations give
Crusts 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
