God Bless' The Child Lyrics - Blood, Sweat & Tears - Blood Sweat & Tears

Them that's got, shall get 

Them that's not, shall lose 

So the Bible said, and it still is news 

Mama may have, and papa may have 

God bless' the child, 

That's got his own 

That's got his own 

Yes the strong seem to get more 

While the weak ones fade 

Empty pockets don't 

Ever make the grade 

As mama may have 

And papa may have 

God bless' the child 

That's got his own 

That's got his own. 

And when you got money, 

You got a lots of friends 

Crowdin' 'round your door 

When the money's gone 

And all you're spendin' ends 

They won't be 'round any more 

No, no, no more 

And rich relations 

May give you 

A crust of bread and such 

You can help yourself 

But don't take too much 

Mama may have 

And your papa may have 

But God bless' the child 

That's got his own 

That's got his own 

God bless' the child who can stand up and say 

I've got my own 

Ev'ry child's, got to have his own!
