"God Bless The Child" lyrics

Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
Got his own
His own

Now, the strong get more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God, God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Got his own
His own

Money, you got lots of friends
Crowding around the door
But when your money is gone, and all your spending ends
They don't come around any more

Rich relations will give you
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't you take too much
No
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God, God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Got his own
His own

You got money
You got lots of friends
Crowding around the door
But when your money is gone, and all your spending ends
They don't come around any more

Rich relations will give you
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God, God bless the child that can stand on his own two feet and tell 'em
That's got his own
God bless the child
Got his own
God bless the child
Got his own
God bless the child
His own
