Then that's got shall get Them that's not shall loose 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
Well 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 your door When it's gone and 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
