God Bless the Child

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

Well the strong they get 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

Oh money, you've got lots of friends

Crowding 'round your door

But when you're gone and spending ends

They don't come 'round no more

Rich relations give

Crust of bread and such

You can help yourself

But, oh, don't you take too much

Mama may have, and oh Papa he may have

But God bless the child

That's got his own

God bless the child

That's got his own
