Them thats got shall get Them thats not shall lose So the bible says and it still is news Mama may have papa may have But God bless the child That got its own, that got its own Yes the strong gets more While the weak ones fade Empty pockets dont ever make the grade Mama may have, papa may have But God bless the child Thats got its own, thats got its own Money youve got lots of friends Crowding around the door When youre gone And the spending ends They dont come no more Rich relations give Crusts of bread and such You can help your self But dont take to much Mama may have, papa may have But God bless the child Thats got its own, thats got its own
