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
When you got money,
You got lots of friends,
Crowding 'round
The door
When the money's
Gone, and all your
Spendin' ends,
They don't come
'Round anymore
Rich relations give you
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
Ev'ry child's
Got to have
His own...
