Ray Charles — Them That Got

[Verse 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 nothing yet [Verse 2] I'm sneaking in and out ducking 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 nothing yet [Verse 3] That old saying them that's got are them that gets Is something I can't see If you gotta have something Before you can get something How do you 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 nothing yet [Verse 4] That old saying them that's got are them that gets Is something I can't see If you gotta have something Before you can get something How do you 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 Oh, when only them that's got supposed to get And I ain't got nothing yet Woah, I tell you all I ain't found nothing yet [Outro] You know I just don't understand it I can't seem to get a nickel or a dime for a cup of coffee I need a hamburger, in fact a hot dog wouldn't be too bad I would just be grateful if I could get my hands on most anything right now
