God Bless The Child - Trijntje Oosterhuis

Then that’s got shall get

Them that’s not shall loose

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

Well 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

Crowding round your door

When it’s gone and spending ends

They don’t come round no more

Rich relations give

Crusts 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
