Karaoke Track: In The Ghetto by Dolly Parton (Xtreme Professional Karaoke) - Karaoke Nerds

As the snow flies..
On a cold and grey
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
little hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

Do we simply
turn our heads

And look the other way
while 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
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 him a gun,
and he steals a car
and he 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

And his mama cries
