Them that's got shall get, 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 grave
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 crowding round your door
When you're gone and spending ends
They don't come round no more
Rich relations give crust 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
I said God bless the child that's got his own
He's got his own
