《I’ve Got What It Takes， But It Breaks My Heart To Give It Away》歌词

[00:00:01] I've Got What It Takes But It Breaks My Heart To Give It Away - Bessie Smith

[00:00:10] Oh stingy Ginny saved up all her pennies

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

[00:00:18] The sharks would have their hands around her

[00:00:22] But none could get her dough

[00:00:27] Ginny's fellow was a slick high yeller

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

[00:00:36] He cried for bail then turned real pale

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

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

[00:00:46] But it breaks my heart to give it away

[00:00:54] It's in demand they want it everyday

[00:01:02] I've been saving it up for a long long time

[00:01:07] To give it away would be more than a crime

[00:01:11] Your eyes may roll your teeth may grit

[00:01:15] But none of my money will you get

[00:01:20] You can look at my bank book

[00:01:22] But I'll never let you feel my purse

[00:01:28] Oh the one woman

[00:01:31] Who believes in safety first safety first

[00:01:38] And if you want my money here's my plan

[00:01:42] I'm saving it up for a real good man

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

[00:01:49] But it breaks my heart to give it away

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

[00:01:57] But it breaks my heart to give it away

[00:02:05] It's in demand folks crying for it every day

[00:02:13] I've been saving it up for a long long time

[00:02:18] To give it away would be more than a crime

[00:02:22] Your eyes may roll your teeth may grit

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

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

[00:02:34] But I'll never let you put your hands on my purse

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

[00:02:43] Who believes in safety first safety first

[00:02:49] And if you want my money here's my plan

[00:02:54] I'm not saving it up for those naked man

[00:02:58] I've got what it takes

[00:03:00] But it breaks my heart to give it away
