Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible says, and it's still is news
[Verse 2]
Momma may have, poppa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
And that's got his own
[Verse 3]
Yeah, the strong gets more while the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
[Verse 4]
Momma may have, poppa may have
But God, bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
[Verse 5]
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowdin' 'round the door
When it's gone and spendin' ends
They don't come no more
[Verse 6]
Rich relations give a crust of bread and such
You can help yourself but don't take too much
[Verse 7]
Momma may have, poppa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Written by: Arthur Herzog, Jr., Billie Holiday
