I've Got What It Takes But It Breaks My Heart To Give It Away - Bessie Smith[00:00:01]
Oh stingy Ginny saved up all her pennies[00:00:10]
Straight to the bank she would go[00:00:14]
The sharks would have their hands around her[00:00:18]
But none could get her dough[00:00:22]
Ginny's fellow was a slick high yeller[00:00:27]
Sent away to jail one day[00:00:32]
He cried for bail then turned real pale[00:00:36]
When I heard Ginny say[00:00:41]
I've got what it takes[00:00:44]
But it breaks my heart to give it away[00:00:46]
It's in demand they want it everyday[00:00:54]
I've been saving it up for a long long time[00:01:02]
To give it away would be more than a crime[00:01:07]
Your eyes may roll your teeth may grit[00:01:11]
But none of my money will you get[00:01:15]
You can look at my bank book[00:01:20]
But I'll never let you feel my purse[00:01:22]
Oh the one woman[00:01:28]
Who believes in safety first safety first[00:01:31]
And if you want my money here's my plan[00:01:38]
I'm saving it up for a real good man[00:01:42]
I've got what it takes[00:01:47]
But it breaks my heart to give it away[00:01:49]
I've got what it takes[00:01:56]
But it breaks my heart to give it away[00:01:57]
It's in demand folks crying for it every day[00:02:05]
I've been saving it up for a long long time[00:02:13]
To give it away would be more than a crime[00:02:18]
Your eyes may roll your teeth may grit[00:02:22]
But none of this small change will you get[00:02:27]
You can look at my bank book[00:02:31]
But I'll never let you put your hands on my purse[00:02:34]
Lord I'm one woman[00:02:40]
Who believes in safety first safety first[00:02:43]
And if you want my money here's my plan[00:02:49]
I'm not saving it up for those naked man[00:02:54]
I've got what it takes[00:02:58]
But it breaks my heart to give it away[00:03:00]
