[00:14.32]Then that’s got shall have
[00:16.45]Then that’s not shall lose
[00:21.02]So the Bible said
[00:24.46]And it still is news
[00:27.70]Mama may have
[00:31.19]Papa may have

[01:32.03]They’re crowding ’round your door
[01:37.84]But when you’re gone and spending ends
[01:45.57]They don’t come no more

[01:55.79]Crusts of bread and such
[01:59.98]You can help yourself
[02:03.93]But don’t take too much
[02:07.63]Mama may have

[02:56.86]Rich relations give
[03:01.15]Crusts of bread and such
[03:05.49]You can help yourself
[03:09.77]But don’t take too much
