Lyrics

And now I'd like to try and do for you a lil' tune that I wrote It's titled "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 get smart 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 your door 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 He just don't worry 'bout nothing, 'cause he's got his own
