God Bless The Child Lyrics

Bobbie Gentry God Bless The Child

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 one fades
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 got lots of friends
Crowdin' 'round the door
When you're gone and the spendin' ends
They don't come no more

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
