God Bless The Child

In the style of Billie Holiday

TRACK 12

Words and Music by Arthur Hams 3c Billic Holiday
Ker Ab
TiIDBI 307
Them that's got
Shall get

Them that's not
Shall lose
So the bible says
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
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
Money, you've got
Lots of friends

Crowdin' 'round
The door
When you're gone
And spendin' ends

They don't come
No more
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 his own
That's got his own...
