I've Got What It Takes (But It Breaks My Heart to Give It Away) (Remastered 2016) - Bessie Smith[00:00:00]

Written by：Papa Charlie Jackson/Harold Jenkins/Spencer Williams[00:00:04]

Oh stingy Ginny[00:00:09]

Saved up all her pennies[00:00:10]

Straight to the bank she would go[00:00:14]

The sharks would have[00:00:18]

Their hands around her[00:00:20]

But none could get her dough[00:00:23]

Ginny's fellow[00:00:27]

Was a slick high yeller[00:00:28]

Sent away to jail one day[00:00:32]

He cried for bail[00:00:36]

Then turned real pale[00:00:37]

When I heard Ginny say[00:00:41]

Oh I've got what it takes[00:00:44]

But it breaks[00:00:46]

My heart to give it away[00:00:47]

It's in demand[00:00:54]

They wants it every day[00:00:56]

I've been saving it up[00:01:02]

For a long long time[00:01:04]

To give it away[00:01:07]

Would be more than a crime[00:01:08]

Your eyes may roll[00:01:11]

Your teeth may grit[00:01:13]

But none of my money[00:01:16]

Will you git[00:01:18]

You can look at my bank book[00:01:19]

But I'll never[00:01:22]

Let you feel my purse[00:01:22]

'Cause I'm a woman[00:01:28]

Believes in safety first safety first[00:01:32]

Said if you want my money[00:01:37]

Here's my plan[00:01:40]

I'm saving it up[00:01:42]

For a real good man[00:01:44]

I've got what it takes[00:01:47]

But it breaks my heart[00:01:49]

To give it away[00:01:50]

I've got what it takes[00:01:56]

But it breaks my heart[00:01:57]

To give it away[00:01:59]

It's in demand[00:02:05]

Folks cryin' for it every day[00:02:07]

I've been saving it up[00:02:13]

For a long long time[00:02:16]

To give it away[00:02:18]

Would be more than a crime[00:02:20]

Your eyes may roll[00:02:23]

Your teeth may grit[00:02:25]

But none of this small change[00:02:27]

Will you git[00:02:30]

You can look at my bank book[00:02:31]

But I'll never let you[00:02:33]

Put your hands on my purse[00:02:35]

Lord I'm a woman[00:02:40]

Believes in safety first[00:02:44]

Safety first[00:02:47]

Say if you want my money[00:02:49]

Here's my plan[00:02:52]

I'm not saving it up[00:02:54]

For no naked man[00:02:56]

I've got what it takes[00:02:59]

But it breaks my heart[00:03:01]

To give it away[00:03:02]
