God Bless the Child - Lou Rawls
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 gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't they 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
When you've got money
You've got lots of friends
They're hanging around your door
What when money gone all the spending ends
They just don't come on around you any more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But you better not take too much
Mama may have papa may have
But god bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
When you've got money
You've got lots of friends
They're hanging around your door
But when you're money gone
All of the good time ends
They just don't come on around any more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But you better not take too much
Mama may have papa may have
But god bless the child that's got his own
God bless the child that's got his own
