[length: 03:08]
[00:00.10]Mama may have, Papa may have
[00:07.79]But God bless the child that’s got his own
[00:15.59]
[00:23.23]Them that’s got shall get
[00:27.30]Them that’s not shall lose
[00:31.96]So the Bible said and it still is news
[00:40.90]Mama may have, Papa may have
[00:49.17]But God bless the child that’s got his own
[00:56.30]That’s got his own
[00:59.84]
[01:03.74]Yes, the strong gets more
[01:08.81]While the weak ones fade
[01:13.12]Empty pockets don’t ever make the grade
[01:22.09]Mama may have, Papa may have
[01:29.31]But God bless the child that’s got his own
[01:36.63]That’s got his own
[01:40.82]
[01:45.61]Money, you’ve got lots of friends
[01:54.23]Crowding ’round the door
[02:02.26]When you’re gone, and spending ends
[02:10.40]They don’t come no more
[02:16.82]Rich relations give
[02:20.93]Crust of bread and such
[02:25.15]You can help yourself
[02:28.92]But don’t take too much
[02:34.06]Mama may have, Papa may have
[02:42.20]But God bless the child that’s got his own
[02:49.29]That’s got his own
[02:52.76](God bless the child, the child that’s got his own)
