God Bless the Child Songtext
von Carmen McRae

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 ever make the grade
Your Mama may have, and your 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 the door
When you′re gone, spending ends
They don't come no more

Rich relations
Give rust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don′t you dare to take too much
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That′s got his own


That's got his own
