[Verse 1]
Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says
And it still is news

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

[Verse 2]
Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't, ooh
Ever make the grade

[Chorus]
Mama may have
Papa may have
But God bless the child, God bless
That's got his own
That's got his own
[Bridge]
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding 'round the door
When you're gone, spending ends
They don't come no morе

[Verse 3]
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
Hеlp yourself
But don't take too much

[Chorus]
Mama may have
Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
