Them that's got shall get, 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
Bridge
Money, you got lots o' friends crowdin' round the door
When you're gone, and spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give crust 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
