God Bless The Child — текст песни (Blood, Sweat and Tears)

(Arthur Herzog Jr., Billie Holiday)

Them that`s got, shall get
them that`s not, shall lose
so the Bible said, and it still is news
mama may have, and papa may have
God bless` the child,
that`s got his own
that`s got his own

Yes the strong seem to get more
while the weak ones fade
empty pockets don`t
ever make the grade
As 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
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 your papa may have
but God bless` the child
that`s got his own
that`s got his own
God bless` the child who can stand up and say

I`ve got my own
Ev`ry child`s, got to have his own!
