Them That Got — текст песни (Ray Charles)

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
