(Arthur Herzog Jr., Billie Holiday)

|
Them that's got, shall get
|
them that's not, shall lose
|
so the Bible said, and it still is news
|
mama may have, and papa may have
|
God bless' the child,
|
that's got his own
|
that's got his own
|
|
Yes the strong seem to get more
|
while the weak ones fade
|
empty pockets don't
|
ever make the grade
|
As mama may have
|
and papa may have
|
God bless' the child
|
that's got his own
|
that's got his own.
|
|
And when you got money,
|
you got a lots of friends
|
crowdin' 'round your door
|
When the money's gone
|
and all you're spendin' ends
|
they won't be 'round any more
|
no, no, no more
|
|
And rich relations
|
may give you
|
a crust of bread and such
|
you can help yourself
|
but don't take too much
|
mama may have
|
and your papa may have
|
but God bless' the child
|
that's got his own
|
that's got his own
|
God bless' the child who can stand up and say
|
|
I've got my own
|
Ev'ry child's, got to have his own!
