“Mama was a looker,
Lord, how she shined.
Papa was a good'n,
But the jealous kind.
Papa loved Mama;
Mama loved men.
Mama's in the graveyard;
Papa's in the pen.”

—  Garth Brooks

“Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own.”

Billie Holiday (1915–1959) American jazz singer and songwriter

God Bless The Child
Context: Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own.

It's against the law, it was against the law
What the mama saw, it was against the law.”
