Lyrics

[00:14.22] Them that's got shall have
[00:17.49] Them that's not shall lose
[00:20.85] So the Bible said
[00:24.44] And it still is news
[00:28.05] Mama may have
[00:31.93] Papa may have
[00:34.76] But God bless the child that's got his own
[00:41.06] That's got his own
[00:46.88] Yes the strong gets more
[00:52.11] While the weak ones fade
[00:55.82] Empty pockets don't
[00:59.13] Ever make the grade
[01:03.20] Mama may have
[01:06.48] Papa may have
[01:09.84] But God bless the child that's got his own
[01:16.01] That's got his own
[01:23.84] Money you've got lots of friends
[01:31.87] They crowding round your door
[01:38.76] But when you're gone
[01:41.79] And spending ends
[01:46.02] They don't come no more
[01:51.47] Rich relations give
[01:55.08] Crust of bread and such
[01:59.68] You can help yourself
[02:03.24] But don't take too much
[02:07.11] Mama may have
[02:10.44] Papa may have
[02:14.16] But God bless the child that's got his own
[02:20.58] That's got his own
[02:29.38] Money you've got lots of friends
[02:36.64] They crowding round your door
[02:43.72] But when you're gone
[02:46.84] And spending ends
[02:51.03] They don't come no more
[02:56.70] Rich relations give
[03:00.40] Crust of bread and such
[03:05.04] You can help yourself
[03:08.68] But don't take too much
[03:12.78] Mama may have
[03:16.15] Papa may have
[03:19.78] But God bless the child that's got his own
[03:26.21] That's got his own
[03:32.69] He's just
[03:35.36] Don't worry about nothing
[03:40.11] 'Cause he's got his own
[03:46.60] Yes he's got his own
