Testo In the Ghetto - Dolly Parton
Testo della canzone In the Ghetto (Dolly Parton), tratta dall'album Blue Smoke - The Best Of
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
(In the ghetto)
People, can't you understand
A 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
Or 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
(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
(In the ghetto)
Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun and he steals a car
And he tries to run, but he don't get far
And his mama cries
(In the ghetto)
As a crowd gathers 'round
An angry young man
Face down on the street
With a gun in his hand
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And her young man dies (in the ghetto)
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
(In the ghetto)
And his mama cries
(In the ghetto)
(Oh)
