Them thats got shall get
them thats not shall lose
so the bible says
and still its news
momma may have
papa may have
but god bless the child thats got his
own thats got his
own
Yes the strong just gets more while the
weak ones fade away
empty pockets won't
ever make the grade
momma may have
papa may have
but god bless the child thats got his
own thats got his
own
Money you've got lots of friends just
Cmin7 Cmin/maj7
crowding 'round your door
but when it's gone and spending ends
they won't come around no more
Cmin7 Cmin/maj7
rich relations bring
crusts of bread and such
you can help yourself
but dont take too much
momma may have
papa may have
but god bless the child thats got his
own thats got his
own
