Karaoke Track: In The Ghetto by Elvis Presley (Monster Hits)

As the snow flies

On a cold and grey
Chicago mornin&#39;

A poor lime bu by
Child is born
In the ghetto

And his mo ma cries

&#39;Cause if 1here&#39;s one thing
That she don&#39;t need

Is another hungry
Mouth to feed

In the g hefto

People don&#39;t you
Understand

A child needs
A helping hand

A-fa Ice 0 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 the runny nose

Plays in the street
As a cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns

So he sfarls to room

The streets at night
And he learns how to sieal
And he learns how to fight

In he 9 heHo

Then one night
In desperation

The young man
Breaks away

He buys a gun

Sfea Is a co r

And tries to run
But he don&#39;t get for,
And his ma ma cries

As a crowd gaihers round
An angry young man
Face down in he street
Wiih a gun in his hand

In 1he gheHo

And as her

Young ma n d ies

On a cold and grey
Chicago mornin&#39;

Another IiHle be by child
Is born in the gheifo
And his ma ma cries
