God Bless the Child |
| Them that’s got shall have |
| 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, that’s got his own |
| Yes the strong get smart |
| 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 |
| They’re crowding around your door |
| But when you’re gone and spending ends |
| They don’t come 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 |
| Money you’ve got lots of friends |
| They’re crowding around your door |
| But when you’re gone and spending ends |
| They don’t come 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 |
| Here just don’t worry about nothing cause he’s got his own |
| Yes, he’s got his own |
