God bless the child, the child that´s got his own
Them that´s got shall get
them that´s not you lose
So the bible says and it still is news
mama may have, papa may have
but God bless the child that got it´s own
God bless the child that got it´s 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 got it´s own
God bless the child that got it´s own

When you´ve got money
you´ve got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When it´s gone spending ends
They don´t come no more
Which 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 got it´s own
God bless the child that got it´s own
