Billie holiday / arthur herzog jr.<br><br>Them that's got shall get<br>Them that's not shall lose<br>So the Bible said and it still is news<br>Mama may have, papa may have<br>But God bless the child that's got his own<br>That's got his own<br><br>Yes, the strong gets more<br>While the weak ones fade<br>Empty pockets don't ever make the grade<br>Mama may have, papa may have<br>But God bless the child that's got his own<br>That's got his own<br><br>Money, you've got lots of friends<br>Crowding round the door<br>When you're gone, spending ends<br>They don't come no more<br>Rich relations give<br>Crust of bread and such<br>You can help yourself<br>But don't take too much<br>Mama may have, papa may have<br>But God bless the child that's got his own<br>That's got his own<br><br>Mama may have, papa may have<br>But God bless the child that's got his own<br>That's got his own<br>He just worry 'bout nothin'<br>Cause he's got his own
