Them thats got shall get
Them thats not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
who's got his 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 who's got his own
Who's got his own

Money you've got lots of friends
Handing round your door
When you're gone and 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 who's who's got his own
(Sachs solo)
Money you've got lots of friends
Handing round the door
When you're gone and 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 who's got his own
