Viewing Lyrics for In The Ghetto:
| | | Artist: | Dolly Parton |
| | Album: | Just The Way I Am | | Track: | In The Ghetto | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 121 | | | | Lyrics: | As the snow flies
On a cold and gray chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's
another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
People, don't you understand
The child
needs a helping hand
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you
and me
Are we too blind to see
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other
way
Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the
street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto
And his hunger burns
So he starts
to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In
the ghetto
Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun,
steals a car
Tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
As a crowd
gathers 'round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the
ghetto
As her young man dies
On a cold and gray chicago mornin'
Another little
baby child is born
In the ghetto | | | |
