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 got its own, that got its own
Yes the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child
That's got its own, that's got its own
Money youve got lots of friends
Crowding around the door
When youre gone
And the spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crusts of bread and such
You can help your self
But don't take to much
Mama may have, papa may have
But God bless the child
That's got its own, that's got its own
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 got its own, that got its own Yes the strong gets more While the weak ones fade Empty pockets don't ever make the grade Mama may have, papa may have But God bless the child That's got its own, that's got its own Money youve got lots of friends Crowding around the door When youre gone And the spending ends They don't come no more Rich relations give Crusts of bread and such You can help your self But don't take to much Mama may have, papa may have But God bless the child That's got its own, that's got its own Explain Request ×
