Bobbie Gentry God Bless The Child
Them 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 one fades
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 got lots of friends
Crowdin' 'round the door
When you're gone and the spendin' 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
