God Bless the Child (Take 1)

Mama may have papa may have

But God bless the child that's got his own

Then that's got shall get

Them 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 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 spending ends

They don't come no more

Rich relations give 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

God bless the child

The child blessed got his own
