God Bless the Child

Then, that God shall get
 Then, that's not shall loose
 So, the bible says, and it still is news
 "Your mama may have
 Your papa may have
 But God bless the child who's got his own"
 Who's got his own
 
 Well, the strong getting more as the weak ones fade
 Empty buckets don't ever make the grade
 Mama may have
 And your papa may have
 But God bless the child who's got his own
 Who's got his own
 ♪
 Molly, you've got lots of friends
 They're crowding 'round your door
 But when the money's gone and spending ends
 They won't be 'round anymore
 But rich relations may give you
 A crust of bread and such
 You can help yourself, but don't you take too much
 Mama may have
 Yes, and your papa may have
 God bless the child who's got his own
 Who's got his own

 Molly, you've got lots of friends
 And they're crowding 'round your door
 When the money's gone and all your spending ends
 They won't be 'round anymore
 But rich relations may give you
 A crust of bread and such
 You can help yourself, but don't you take too much
 Mama may have
 Yes, and your papa may have
 But God bless the child who can stand up and say
 "I've got my own"
