God Bless the Child Abbey Lincoln

[Verse 1]
Them that's got shall get and 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

[Verse 2]
And the strong gets more while the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got her own
That's got her own

[Bridge]
Money, you got lots of friends
Crowdin' round the door
But when the money's gone and the spendin' ends
They don't come no more

[Verse 3]
Rich relations give a 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 their own
That's got their own
