verse 1
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
verse 2
Yes, the strong just gets more
While the weak ones fade away
Empty pockets won't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
Bridge
When you've got money, you've got lots of friends
Just crowding round the door
But when it's gone,and the spending ends
They don't come round no more
verse 3
Rich relations bring you
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
