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 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 



Money, you've got lots of friends 

Crowding round the door 

When you're gone, 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 



Mama may have, Papa may have 

But God bless the child that's got his own 

That's got his own 

He just worry 'bout nothin' 

Cause he's got his own 

Yes he's got his own
