Dolly Parton
In The Ghetto

(Mac Davis)

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 while the world turns.

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, 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...


Mirror lyrics:

Another little baby child is born in the ghetto...
As her young man dies on a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

Face down on the street with a gun in his hand in the ghetto.
As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
And his mama cries
He buys a gun, steals a car, tries to run but he don't get far
Then one night in desperation the young man breaks away

And he learns how to steal and he learns how to fight in the ghetto.
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And his hunger burns
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows in the ghetto
A hungry little boy with a runny nose

Do we simply turn our heads and look the other way while the world turns.
Take a look at you and me are we too blind to see
Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
People, don't you understand the child needs a helping hand

It's another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto.
'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need
In the ghetto and his mama cries
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin' a poor little baby child is born
As the snow flies

(Mac Davis)

Popular Songs:
now that you're leaving

wings of despair

forever

i am changing

somewhere waiting

twist the knife

follow your heart

someone's gotta change your mind

missing the party

through heaven's eyes

requiem

rock of ages

oh no

true love

dime

heart s right

in another lifetime

ashes of the innocent [bonus track]

i am you

last one to touch me
