God Bless the Child (Album Version)

God Bless the Child (Album Version) - Blood, Sweat & Tears

Them that's got shall get

Them that's not shall lose

So the Bible saids

And it still is news

Mama may have and Papa may have

God bless the child

That's got his own will

That's got his own

And the strong seem to get more

While the weak one's fade

Empty pockets don't

Ever make the grade

Cause Mama may have

And Papa may have

God bless the child

That's got his own

That's got his own

And when you got money

You got a lots of friends

They're crowdin' 'round your door

When the money's gone

And all you're spendin' ends

They won't be 'round any more

No no no more

And rich relations may give you

A crust of bread and such

You can help yourself

But don't take too much

Mama may have

And Papa may have

But God bless the child

That's got his own

That's got his own

And when you got money

You got a lots of friends

They're crowdin' 'round your door

But wait a minute

When the money's gone

And all you're spendin' ends

They won't be 'round any more

No no

And rich relations may give you

A crust of bread and such

You can help yourself

But don't take too much

Mama may have

And Papa may have

But God bless the child

Who can't stand up band say

I've got my own

Every child's got to have his own wealth
