Them That Got

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

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
