Paroles
And now I'd like to try and do for you a lil' tune that I wrote
It's titled "God Bless the Child"
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
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
Crowding 'round your door
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
He just don't worry 'bout nothing, 'cause he's got his own
Writer(s): Billie Holiday, Arthur Herzog
