Lyrics

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 get 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've got lots of friends
They're crowding around the door
When the money's gone and all your spending ends
They don't come round no more

Rich relations give crusts 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
