Song title: Ray Charles - Them That Got

Edit By: 216.73.217.1

I've gotten down to my last pair of shoes
 Can't even win a nickel bet
 Because, ah them that's got are them that gets
 And I ain't got nothin yet

I'm sneakin in and out duckin' my landlord
 All I seem to do is stay in debt
 Because, ah them that's got (yeah) are them that gets
 And I tell you all I ain't got nothin' yet

That old sayin them that's got are them that gets
 Is somethin I can't see
 If ya gotta have somethin
 Before you can get somethin
 How do ya get your first is still a mystery to me

I see folk with long cars and fine clothes
 That's why they're called the smarter set
 Because they manage to get
 When only them that's got supposed to get
 And I ain't got nothin yet

(bridge)

That old sayin them that's got are them that gets
 Is somethin I can't see
 If ya gotta have somethin
 Before you can get somethin
 How do ya get your first is still a mystery to me

I see folk with long cars and fine clothes
 That's why they're called the smarter set
 Because they manage to get
 When only them that's got supposed to get
 And I ain't got nothin yet

Whoah, I tell you all
 I ain't found nothing yet.

(spoken)
 You know I just don't understand it
 I can't seem to get a nickle or a dime for a cup of coffee
 I need a hamburg- in fact a hot dog wouldn't be too bad
 I would just be grateful if I could get my hands on most anything
 (fade)
