God Bless the Child Songtext
Them that′s got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
My Mama may have, my Papa may have
But God bless the child who′s got his own
Who's got his own
Now the rich get rich
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
My Mama may have, my Papa may have
But God bless the child who′s got his own
Who′s got his own
Money, you have lots of friends
Hanging around the door
But when he's gone, and I spending ends
You don′t come hanging around no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
My Mama may have, and my Papa may have
But God bless the child who′s got his own
Who's got his own
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
My Mama may have, my Papa may have
But God bless the child who′s got his own
Who's got his own
Now the rich get rich
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
My Mama may have, my Papa may have
But God bless the child who′s got his own
Who′s got his own
Money, you have lots of friends
Hanging around the door
But when he's gone, and I spending ends
You don′t come hanging around no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
My Mama may have, and my Papa may have
But God bless the child who′s got his own
Who's got his own
