Them thats got shall get
Them thats not shall lose
So the Bible says, and it still is new-ews
Mama may have and papa may have
But God bless the child thats got his own
And the strong get more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets dont ever make the gra-ade
Mama may have and papa may have
But God bless the child thats got his own
Thats got his own
And when you got money
You got a-lots of friends
All hangin round your door
But when the moneys gone
And all your spendin ends
They wont hang around any more-ore
Rich relations may give you
A crust of bread and such
Sayin help, go on help help yourself
But dont take too much
Mama may have and papa may have
But God bless the child thats got his own
Thats got his own…
Thats got his ow…own
Mama may have and papa may ha-ave
But God bless the child who can stand up and say
Hes got his… ow-ow-ow-own…
