God Bless The Child

(album: Mothers & Daughters - 1997)

Them that's got shall get
Them that not shall lose
So the Bible says
And it still is news

Mama may have
Papa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Yes the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade

Mama may have
And Papa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Money you've got lots of friends
Hanging round your door
When you're gone and spending ends
They don't come back no more

Rich relations give
Crusts of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much

Mama may have
Papa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own
