[00:00:00] I've Got What It Takes (But It Breaks My Heart to Give It Away) (Remastered 2016) - Bessie Smith

[00:00:04] Written by：Papa Charlie Jackson/Harold Jenkins/Spencer Williams

[00:00:09] Oh stingy Ginny

[00:00:10] Saved up all her pennies

[00:00:14] Straight to the bank she would go

[00:00:18] The sharks would have

[00:00:20] Their hands around her

[00:00:23] But none could get her dough

[00:00:27] Ginny's fellow

[00:00:28] Was a slick high yeller

[00:00:32] Sent away to jail one day

[00:00:36] He cried for bail

[00:00:37] Then turned real pale

[00:00:41] When I heard Ginny say

[00:00:44] Oh I've got what it takes

[00:00:46] But it breaks

[00:00:47] My heart to give it away

[00:00:54] It's in demand

[00:00:56] They wants it every day

[00:01:02] I've been saving it up

[00:01:04] For a long long time

[00:01:07] To give it away

[00:01:08] Would be more than a crime

[00:01:11] Your eyes may roll

[00:01:13] Your teeth may grit

[00:01:16] But none of my money

[00:01:18] Will you git

[00:01:19] You can look at my bank book

[00:01:22] But I'll never

[00:01:22] Let you feel my purse

[00:01:28] 'Cause I'm a woman

[00:01:32] Believes in safety first safety first

[00:01:37] Said if you want my money

[00:01:40] Here's my plan

[00:01:42] I'm saving it up

[00:01:44] For a real good man

[00:01:47] I've got what it takes

[00:01:49] But it breaks my heart

[00:01:50] To give it away

[00:01:56] I've got what it takes

[00:01:57] But it breaks my heart

[00:01:59] To give it away

[00:02:05] It's in demand

[00:02:07] Folks cryin' for it every day

[00:02:13] I've been saving it up

[00:02:16] For a long long time

[00:02:18] To give it away

[00:02:20] Would be more than a crime

[00:02:23] Your eyes may roll

[00:02:25] Your teeth may grit

[00:02:27] But none of this small change

[00:02:30] Will you git

[00:02:31] You can look at my bank book

[00:02:33] But I'll never let you

[00:02:35] Put your hands on my purse

[00:02:40] Lord I'm a woman

[00:02:44] Believes in safety first

[00:02:47] Safety first

[00:02:49] Say if you want my money

[00:02:52] Here's my plan

[00:02:54] I'm not saving it up

[00:02:56] For no naked man

[00:02:59] I've got what it takes

[00:03:01] But it breaks my heart

[00:03:02] To give it away
