God Bless the Child

Then, that God shall get
Then, that's not shall loose
So, the bible says, and it still is news
"Your mama may have
Your papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own"
Who's got his own

Well, the strong getting more as the weak ones fade
Empty buckets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have
And your papa may have
But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own

Molly, you've got lots of friends
They're crowding 'round your door
But when the money's gone and spending ends
They won't be 'round anymore

But rich relations may give you
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself, but don't you take too much
Mama may have
Yes, and your papa may have
God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own

Molly, you've got lots of friends
And they're crowding 'round your door
When the money's gone and all your spending ends
They won't be 'round anymore

But rich relations may give you
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself, but don't you take too much
Mama may have
Yes, and your papa may have
But God bless the child who can stand up and say
"I've got my own"
