God Bless the Child

Then that's got shall have
Then that's not shall lose
So the Bible said
And it still is news

Mama may have
Papa may have
But God, bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak one's fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade

Mama may have
Papa may have
But God, bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
They're crowding 'round your door
But when you're gone and spending ends
They don't come no more

Rich relations give
Crusts of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much

Mama may have
Papa may have
But God, bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
They're crowding 'round your door
But when you're gone and spending ends
They don't come no more

Rich relations give
Crusts of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much

Mama may have
Papa may have
But God, bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

He just don't worry about nothin'
'Cause he's got his own
Yes he's got his own
