God Bless the Child Lyrics by Mary Coughlan

Sings Billie Holiday

0

Them that's got shall have
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
God bless the child 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
God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Hanging 'round your door
When you've gone and spent it all
They don't come 'round anymore
Rich relations give
Crust of brеad and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may havе, Papa may have
God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Hanging 'round your door
When you've gone and spent it all
They don't come 'round anymore
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
