Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have
And Papa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
Yes, the strong gets more
But the weak ones fade
Empty pockets, don't ever make the grade
Mama may have
And Papa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own, that's got his own
Money,
You've got lots of friends
Crowdin' round the door
When you’re gone
And spending ends
They don't come around no more
Rich relations give you
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don’t take too much,
Mama may have
And Papa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own, that's got his own
~~~♫♫♫ ~~~
Rich relations may give you
A crust of bread and such
Saying help, go on, help yourself
But don’t take too much,
Mama may have
And Papa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own, that's got his own
