[00:00.00]God Bless The Child - Carmen McRae/Connie Haines
[00:18.70]Them that's got shall get
[00:23.94]
[00:25.32]Them that's not shall lose
[00:28.64]
[00:30.12]So the Bible said and it still is news
[00:38.83]
[00:40.13]Mama may have papa may have
[00:46.55]
[00:47.98]But God bless the child that's got his own
[00:55.12]
[00:55.80]That's got his own
[01:01.05]
[01:03.01]Yes the strong gets more
[01:09.30]While the weak ones fade
[01:13.79]
[01:15.29]Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
[01:22.87]
[01:23.60]Mama may have and papa may have
[01:31.50]
[01:32.70]But God bless the child that's got his own
[01:39.86]That's got his own
[01:45.55]
[01:50.21]Money you've got lots of friends
[01:57.36]Crowding round the door
[02:03.44]
[02:06.18]But when you're gone and spending ends
[02:13.51]They don't come no more
[02:21.55]
[02:23.00]Rich relations give
[02:27.38]Crust of bread and such
[02:31.96]You can help yourself
[02:34.37]But don't you take too much
[02:40.15]
[02:41.47]Mama may have papa may have
[02:47.12]
[02:48.61]But God bless the child that's got his own
[02:54.92]
[02:55.56]That's got his own
[03:02.26]
[03:07.38]That's got his own
