Them that's got shall get Money, you've got lots of friends
EbM7 AbM6 Gm7 C9 G7
Them that's not shall lose Hanging round your door

So the Bible said and it still is news When you go in spending ends
Gm7 C9 Fm7 Bb7b9
AbM7 AbM6 Abm7 Abm6 They don't come no more
Mama may have, Papa may have

But God bless the child who's got his own A
EbM9
Who's got his own Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself baby
A Oh don't you take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
Yes, the strong gets more But God bless the child who's got his own
While the weak ones fade Who's got his own
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade

Mama may have, Papa may have

But God bless the child who's got his own
Who's got his own
