God Bless The Child

Them that's got shall get

Them that's not shall lose

So the Bible says and it still is news, oh

Mama may have, Papa may have

But God bless the child

That's got his own

Yes the strong get smart

While the weak ones fade

Empty pockets don't ever make the grade, oh

Mama may have, Papa may have

But God bless the child

That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends

Crowding 'round the door

When you're gone and spending ends

They don't come 'round no more

Rich relations give crusts of bread and such

You can help yourself, but don't take too much, oh

Mama may have and Papa may have

But God bless the child

That's got his own

Woah-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh-ooh
