Sam Cooke God Bless the Child song lyrics

God bless the child, the child that 's got his own

Them that's got shall get

them that's not you lose

So the bible says and it still is news

mama may have, papa may have

but God Bless The Child that got it's own

God Bless The Child that got it's 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 got it's own

God Bless The Child that got it's own

When you've got money

you've got lots of friends

Crowding round the door

When it's gone spending ends

They don't come no more

Which relations give, 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 got it's own

God Bless The Child that got it's own
