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's got his own
That's got his 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 his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got
Lots of friends

Crowdin' 'round
The door

When you're gone
And spendin' ends

They don't come
No more

Rich relations
Give a crust

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...
