God Bless the Child

Them that's got shall get

Them that's not shall lose

So the Bible said and it still is news, oh, oh

Mama may have, Papa may have

But God bless the child that's got his ownYes, the strong gets more

While the weak ones fade

Empty pockets don't ever make the grade, oh

Mama may have and Papa may have

But God bless the child that's got his ownMoney, you've got lots of friends

Crowding round the door

When you're gone, and spending ends

They don't come round no moreRich relations give

A crust of bread and such

You can help yourself

But don't take too much, oh

Mama may have and Papa may have

But God bless the child that's got his own
