Lyrics

[00:14.311] Them that's got shall get
[00:17.565] Them that's not shall lose
[00:21.048] So the Bible said and it still is news
[00:28.351] Mama may have, papa may have
[00:34.968] But god bless the child that's got his own
[00:41.084] That's got his own
[00:47.128] Yes, the strong gets more
[00:52.236] While the weak ones fade
[00:55.907] Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
[01:03.150] Mama may have, papa may have
[01:09.953] But God bless the child that's got his own
[01:16.028] That's got his own
[01:24.097] Money, you've got lots of friends
[01:32.276] They're crowding round your door
[01:38.908] But when you're gone and spending ends
[01:46.164] They don't come no more
[01:51.674] Rich relations give
[01:55.205] Crust of bread and such
[01:59.842] You can help yourself
[02:03.438] But don't take too much
[02:07.243] Mama may have, papa may have
[02:14.399] But God bless the child that's got his own
[02:20.779] That's got his own
[02:29.739] Money, you've got lots of friends
[02:36.928] They're crowding round your door
[02:44.087] But when you're gone and spending ends
[02:51.463] They don't come no more
[02:56.980] Rich relations give
[03:00.636] Crust of bread and such
[03:05.371] You can help yourself
[03:08.936] But don't take too much
[03:13.079] Mama may have, papa may have
[03:20.238] But God bless the child that's got his own
[03:26.483] That's got his own
[03:33.161] He just don't know worry 'bout nothin'
[03:40.556] Cause he's got his own
[03:47.117] Yes, he's got his own
