Artist/Band: Richie Havens
Lyrics for Song: God Bless The Child
Lyrics for Album: Resume-Best Of [1993]



Them that's got shall get


Them that's not shall lose


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





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's got his own


That's got his own





Money, you've got lots of friends


Crowding round the door


When you're gone, spending ends


They don't come no more


Rich 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's got his own


That's got his own





Mama may have, papa may have


But God bless the child that's got his own


That's got his own


He just worry 'bout nothin'


Cause he's got his own
