Lyrics

Them that's got shall get And 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 Yes, the strong gets more While the weak ones fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own Well, money, you've got lots of friends Crowding around your door But when it's gone, and spending ends Don't you know, they don't come, no more? Rich relations give Crust of bread and such You can help yourself But don't you dare take too much 'Cause Mama may have, Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own That's got his own
