God Bless The Child Lyrics - Aretha Franklin

(b. holiday/a. herzog, jr.) 

Them that's God shall get 

Them that's not shall lose 

So the Bible says 

And it still is news 

Momma may have 

Poppa may have 

But God bless the child 

That's got his own 

That's got his own 

Yeah, the strong gets more 

While the weak ones fade 

Empty pockets don't 

Ever make the grade

Momma may have 

Poppa 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 it's gone and 

Spendin' ends 

Rich realations give 

A crust of bread and such 

You can help yourself 

But don't take too much

Momma may have

But God bless the child 

That's got his own 

That's got his own
