[00:00.91] Mama may have papa may have
[00:08.64] But God bless the child that's got his own
[00:16.20]
[00:24.30] Then that's got shall get
[00:27.48]
[00:28.31] Them that's not shall lose
[00:32.24]
[00:33.35] So the Bible said and it still is news
[00:41.65] Mama may have papa may have
[00:48.96]
[00:50.15] But God bless the child that's got his own
[00:55.89]
[00:57.38] That's got his own
[01:00.32]
[01:04.74] Yes the strong gets more
[01:08.87]
[01:09.61] While the weak ones fade
[01:13.04]
[01:14.64] Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
[01:22.31]
[01:22.87] Mama may have papa may have
[01:29.74]
[01:30.35] But God bless the child that's got his own
[01:36.48]
[01:37.66] That's got his own
[01:41.35]
[01:46.89] Money you've got lots of friends
[01:54.26]
[01:55.39] Crowdin' 'round the door
[02:01.31]
[02:03.37] When you're gone and spending ends
[02:10.42]
[02:11.42] They don't come no more
[02:16.22]
[02:17.71] Rich relations give crust of bread and such
[02:24.96]
[02:26.01] You can help yourself
[02:29.39]
[02:30.20] But don't take too much
[02:34.39]
[02:35.50] Mama may have papa may have
[02:42.19]
[02:43.17] But God bless the child that's got his own
[02:49.36]
[02:50.16] That's got his own
[02:53.31] God bless the child
[02:56.38] The child blessed got his own
