God Bless the Child — The Steve Miller Band

Them that's got shall get Them that's not shall lose 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

The strong get more The weak ones fade Empty pockets Well, they 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

When you've got money You've got lots of friends They're always hangin' around your door But when the money's all gone And the spending ends They don't come around much anymore

Rich relations give A crust of bread and such You can help yourself But you better not take too much, no

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

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

Your mama may have Your papa may have But God bless the child That's got his own Them that's got his own Them that's got his own
