God Bless The Child

God Bless The Child - Lou Rawls/Les McCann Ltd.

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 they don't ever make the grade

Mama may have papa may have

But god bless the child that's got his own

That's got his own

When you've got money

You've got lots of friends

They're hanging around your door

What when money gone all the spending ends

They just don't come on around you any more

Rich relations give

Crust of bread and such

You can help yourself

But you better not take too much

Mama may have papa may have

But god bless the child that's got his own

That's got his own

When you've got money

You've got lots of friends

They're hanging around your door

But when you're money gone

All of the good time ends

They just don't come on around any more

Rich relations give

Crust of bread and such

You can help yourself

But you better not take too much

Mama may have papa may have

But god bless the child that's got his own

God bless the child that's got his own
