Karaoke Track: In The Ghetto by Elvis Presley (Sunfly) - 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

'Cos 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?

W ell 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
sireets at night and

he learns how to steal
and he learns

how to iight in the ghetto

Then one night
in desperation
a young man

breaks away

g

He buys a gun,
steals a car,

tries to run

but he don't get
far and his mama cries

As a crowd gathers Iround
an angry young man,
face down in the street
With a gun in his hand

in the ghetto

As her young man dies

On a cold and grey
Chicago mornin',
another little baby child
is born in the ghetto

And his Mama cries
