Lyrics
"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 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
Money you got, lots of friends
Crowded 'round the door
When you're gone and the spending 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
Writer(s): Billie Holiday, Arthur Jr. Herzog, Alexis Latrobe
