Them thats got shall get

Them thats not shall lose

So the bible says and it still is news

Mama may have papa may have

But God bless the child

That got its own, that got its own



Yes the strong gets more

While the weak ones fade

Empty pockets dont ever make the grade

Mama may have, papa may have

But God bless the child

Thats got its own, thats got its own



Money youve got lots of friends

Crowding around the door

When youre gone

And the spending ends

They dont come no more

Rich relations give

Crusts of bread and such

You can help your self

But dont take to much

Mama may have, papa may have

But God bless the child

Thats got its own, thats got its own
