Karaoke Track: In The Ghetto by Elvis Presley (Pocket Songs) - Karaoke Nerds

As the snow flies
On a cold and grey

Chicago morn'

Another little
Baby child is born

In the ghetto
And his mama cries

'Cause if there's
One thing that

She don't need

People, don't you
Understand

The child needs
A helping hand

He'll grow to be
An angry young man

Some day

Take a look
At you and me

Are we too blind
To see?

Or do we simply
Tum our heads, and
Look the other way?
As 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

Then one night
In desperation

The young man
Breaks away

He buys a gun
And he steals a car

Tries to run
But he don't get far

And his mama cried

As a crowd
Gathers 'round

An angry young man

As her
Young man dies

On a cold and grey
Chicago morn'

And another little
Baby child is born
In the ghetto

And his mama cried.
