Lyric God Bless The Child

(B. Holiday/A. Herzog, Jr.)

Them that s god shall get
Them that s not shall lose
So the bible says
And it still is news

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That s got his own
That s got his own

Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don t
Ever make the grade

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That s got his own
That s got his own

Money, you ve got lots of friends
Crowdin round the door
When it s gone and
Spendin ends
They don t come no more

Rich realations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don t take too much

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That s got his own
That s got his own
