Текст песни Tori Amos — Live covers — God bless the child (by Billie Holiday)
them that s got shall get
them that s not they shall lose
so the bible said and it still is news
ohhh mama may have, and 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
ohh well, mama may have, and papa may have
but god bless the child that s got her own
that s got her own
money, you ve got lots of friends
crowding through your 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
yes, cuz your papa may have, mmmm mama may have
but god bless the child that s got his own
that s got his own
i said...mama may have, and papa may have
but god bless the child that s got her own
that s got her own
them that s not they shall lose
so the bible said and it still is news
ohhh mama may have, and 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
ohh well, mama may have, and papa may have
but god bless the child that s got her own
that s got her own
money, you ve got lots of friends
crowding through your 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
yes, cuz your papa may have, mmmm mama may have
but god bless the child that s got his own
that s got his own
i said...mama may have, and papa may have
but god bless the child that s got her own
that s got her own
