[03:12.00]I've Got What It Takes - Bessie Smith
[03:12.00]Oh Stingy Ginny saved up all her pennies
[03:12.00]Straight to the bank she would go
[03:12.00]The sharks would have their hands around her
[03:12.00]But none could get her dough
[03:12.00]Ginny's fellow was a slick high yeller
[03:12.00]Sent away to jail one day
[03:12.00]He cried for bail then turned real pale
[03:12.00]When I heard Ginny say
[03:12.00]Oh I've got what it takes
[03:12.00]But it breaks my heart to give it away
[03:12.00]It's in demand
[03:12.00]They wants it every day
[03:12.00]I've been saving it up for a long long time
[03:12.00]To give it away would be more than a crime
[03:12.00]Your eyes may roll your teeth may grit
[03:12.00]But none of my money will you git
[03:12.00]You can look at my bank book
[03:12.00]But I'll never let you feel my purse
[03:12.00]'Cause I'm a woman
[03:12.00]Believes in safety first safety first
[03:12.00]Said if you want my money here's my plan
[03:12.00]I'm saving it up for a real good man
[03:12.00]I've got what it takes
[03:12.00]But it breaks my heart to give it away
[03:12.00]I've got what it takes
[03:12.00]But it breaks my heart to give it away
[03:12.00]It's in demand
[03:12.00]Folks cryin' for it every day
[03:12.00]I've been saving it up for a long long time
[03:12.00]To give it away would be more than a crime
[03:12.00]Your eyes may roll your teeth may grit
[03:12.00]But none of this small change will you git
[03:12.00]You can look at my bank book
[03:12.00]But I'll never let you put your hands on my purse
[03:12.00]Lord I'm a woman
[03:12.00]Believes in safety first safety first
[03:12.00]Say if you want my money here's my plan
[03:12.00]I'm not savin' it up for no naked man
[03:12.00]I've got what it takes
[03:12.00]But it breaks my heart to give it away
