Them that's got shall have Them that's not shall lose So the Bible says 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 get 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
Money you've got lots of friends They're crowding around your door But when you're gone and spending ends They don't come no more
Rich relations give Crusts of bread and such You can help yourself But don't take too much Mama may have Papa may have But God bless the child that's got his own That's got his own
