"God Bless The Child"
(. Holiday - . Herzog)
[horn intro?]
[2x]
Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
+7/
So the Bible says
And it still is news
Mama may have it
Papa may have it
God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
And the strong seem to get more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't make the grade
Mama may have it
And papa may have it
God bless the child who's got his own will
That's got his own
+7
And when you got money you got lotsa friends
Crowdin' 'round your door
+7
When the money's gone and all your spendin' ain't
-5 -5
They won't be 'round no more
And rich relations may give you
Crusts of bread and such
"You can help yourself, but don't take too much"
Mama may have it
And papa may have it
God bless the child who's got his own will
That's got his own
coda:
Every child's got to have his own
