Lyrics for Song: God Bless The Child 
Lyrics for Album: Blood, Sweat & Tears [1969]
  
               
  38407>Them that's got, shall get
  Them that's not, shall lose
  So the Bible said, and it still is news
  Mama may have, and papa may have
  God bless' the child,
  That's got his own
  That's got his own
 
 
  Yes the strong seem to get more
  While the weak ones fade
  Empty pockets don't
  Ever make the grade
  As mama may have
  And papa may have
  God bless' the child
  That's got his own
  That's got his own.
 
 
  And when you got money,
  You got a lots of friends
  Crowdin' 'round your door
  When the money's gone
  And all you're spendin' ends
  They won't be 'round any more
  No, no, no more
 
 
  And rich relations
  May give you
  A crust of bread and such
  You can help yourself
  But don't take too much
  Mama may have
  And your papa may have
  But God bless' the child
  That's got his own
  That's got his own
  God bless' the child who can stand up and say
 
 
  I've got my own
  Ev'ry child's, got to have his own!
