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 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 |
|
Crowding round the door |
|
When you're gone, spending ends |
|
They don't come 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 |
|
Mama may have, papa may have |
|
But god bless the child that's got his own |
|
That's got his own |
|
He just worry 'bout nothin' |
|
Cause he's got his own |
