What Are The Lyrics For I've Got What It Takes (But It Breaks My Heart to Give It Away) By Bessie Smith?
Oh, stingy Ginny saved up all her pennies
Straight to the bank she would go The sharks would have their hands around her But none could get her dough Ginny's fellow was a slick high yeller Sent away to jail one day He cried for bail then turned real pale When I heard Ginny say I've got what it takes But it breaks my heart to give it away It's in demand, they want it everyday I've been saving it up for a long, long time To give it away would be more than a crime Your eyes may roll, your teeth may grit But none of my money will you get You can look at my bank book But I'll never let you feel my purse Oh the one woman Who believes in safety first, safety first And if you want my money, here's my plan I'm saving it up for a real good man I've got what it takes But it breaks my heart to give it away I've got what it takes But it breaks my heart to give it away It's in demand, folks crying for it every day I've been saving it up for a long, long time To give it away would be more than a crime Your eyes may roll, your teeth may grit But none of this small change will you get You can look at my bank book But I'll never let you put your hands on my purse Lord, I'm one woman Who believes in safety first, safety first And if you want my money, here's my plan I'm not saving it up for those naked man I've got what it takes But it breaks my heart to give it away |
