Dolly Parton - In The Ghetto Lyrics
As the snow fliesOn a cold and gray chicago morninA poor little baby child is bornIn the ghettoAnd his mama criescause if theres one thing that she dont needIts another hungry mouth to feedIn the ghettoPeople, dont you understandThe child needs a helping handOr hell grow to be an angry young man some dayTake a look at you and meAre we too blind to seeDo we simply turn our headsAnd look the other wayWell the world turnsAnd a hungry little boy with a runny nosePlays in the street as the cold wind blowsIn the ghettoAnd his hunger burnsSo he starts to roam the streets at nightAnd he learns how to stealAnd he learns how to fightIn the ghettoThen one night in desperationA young man breaks awayHe buys a gun, steals a carTries to run, but he dont get farAnd his mama criesAs a crowd gathers round an angry young manFace down on the street with a gun in his handIn the ghettoAs her young man diesOn a cold and gray chicago morninAnother little baby child is bornIn the ghetto
