You'll Be Taken Care Of

Precious little children — what can I do?

Someday they’ll remember — what I told you

Did it together just you and me

Without a man in this family

I didn’t raise them — it’s you they love

They will remember the things you’ve done

Sometimes I felt that I’ve lost my mind

Things didn’t work out the way we planned

And when they grow up and they make good

They will repay what I owe to

You’ll be taken care of

And they’ll remember you

Precious little children

On that you can be sure

You will never want for more

When they grow up they’ll be kind and smart

And you will see that they’ll all go far

I haven’t long but I know it’s true

These little ones owe a lot to

You’ll be taken care of

And they’ll remember you

Precious little children

On that you can be sure

You will never want for more

You’ll be taken care of they’ll remember you

Someday they will give you things I never could

You’ll be taken care of on that you can be sure

If there’s any justice in this world you’ll never want for more

Someday I promise you

Remember what I say is true

Someday I promise you

Remember what I say is true
