Elvis Presley In The Ghetto Lyrics

As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago morning
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
Is 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
The young man breaks away
He buys a gun, he steals a car
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 in the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto
And as her young man dies
On a cold and gray Chicago morning
Another little baby child is born, in the ghetto
And his mama cries
