Them that's got shall get
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 gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets, well don't ever make the grade
Mama may have
Papa may have
But God bless the child
That's got her own, that's got her own

Money,
You've got lots of friends
Crowding round your door
But when you're gone and spending ends
They don't come no more

Rich relations give
A 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
That's got their own, that's got their own
