Them thatâ??s got shall get
Them thatâ??s not shall lose
So the Bible says and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child thatâ??s got his own, thatâ??s got his own

Yes the strong get smart
While the weak ones fail
Empty pockets donâ??t ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child thatâ??s got his own, thatâ??s got his own

Money, youâ??ve got lots of friends
Theyâ??re crowding around your door
But when youâ??re gone and spending ends
They donâ??t come no more
Rich relations give crusts of bread and such
You can help yourself, but donâ??t take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child thatâ??s got his own, thatâ??s got his own

Money youâ??ve got lots of friends
Theyâ??re crowding around your door
But when youâ??re gone and spending ends
They donâ??t come no more
Rich relations give crusts of bread and such
You can help yourself, but donâ??t take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child thatâ??s got his own, thatâ??s got his own

Here just donâ??t worry about nothing cause heâ??s got his own
Yes, heâ??s got his own
