Lyrics

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
For the Bible says, and it still is news
Mama may have, and Papa he may have
God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
For the strong, gets more
While the weak ones fade
If your pockets are void, you never make the grade
Mama may have, and Papa may have
God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Oh, money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding around your door
But when your money's gone and spending ends
They don't, they don't come around me no more
Rich relations will give you crust of bread and such
You can help yourself, but don't take too much
Mama may have, and Papa may have
God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Oh money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding around your door
But when the money's gone and all the spending ends
They don't come around no more
Rich relations will give you crust of bread and such
You can help yourself, but don't take too much
Mama may have, and Papa may have
God bless the child that's got his own
God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
