Them That Got Songtext
von Ray Charles and His Orchestra

I′ve gotten down to my last pair of shoes
Can't even win a nickel bet
Because, ah them that′s got are them that gets
And I ain't got nothin' yet

I′m sneakin′ in and out duckin' my landlord
All I seem to do is stay in debt
Because, ah them that′s got (yeah) are them that gets
And I tell you all I ain't got nothin′ yet

That old sayin' them that′s got are them that gets
Is somethin' I can't see
If ya gotta have somethin′
Before you can get somethin′
How do ya get your first is still a mystery to me


I see folk with long cars and fine clothes
That's why they′re called the smarter set
Because they manage to get
When only them that's got supposed to get
And I ain′t got nothin' yet

That old sayin′ them that's got are them that gets
Is somethin' I can′t see
If ya gotta have somethin′
Before you can get somethin'
How do ya get your first is still a mystery to me

I see folk with long cars and fine clothes
That′s why they're called the smarter set
Because they manage to get
When only them that′s got supposed to get
And I ain't got nothin′ yet

Whoa, I tell you all
I ain't found nothing yet

You know I just don't understand it
I can′t seem to get a nickle or a dime for a cup of coffee

I need a hamburguer in fact a hot dog wouldn′t be too bad
I would just be grateful if I could get my hands on most anything
