God Bless the Child

Them that's got, shall have

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

Tell 'em the way it is, Billie

Money, you've got lots of friends

Crowded 'round the 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
