《In the Ghetto》歌词

[00:00:00] In The Ghetto - Dolly Parton

[00:00:05] As the snow flies

[00:00:11] On a cold and gray Chicago morn'

[00:00:14] A poor little baby child is born

[00:00:16] In the ghetto

[00:00:22] And his mama cries

[00:00:27] 'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need

[00:00:30] It's another little hungry mouth to feed

[00:00:33] In the ghetto

[00:00:36] People can't you understand

[00:00:40] The child needs a helping hand

[00:00:44] Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day

[00:00:49] Take a look at you and me

[00:00:51] Are we too blind to see

[00:00:55] Do we simply turn our heads

[00:00:57] And look the other way

[00:01:02] While the world turns

[00:01:07] And a hungry little boy with a runny nose

[00:01:11] Plays in the street as the cold wind blows

[00:01:14] In the ghetto

[00:01:16] And his hunger burns

[00:01:22] So he starts to roam the streets at night

[00:01:27] And he learns how to steal

[00:01:29] And he learns how to fight

[00:01:30] In the ghetto

[00:01:32] Then one night in desperation

[00:01:38] A young man breaks away

[00:01:40] He buys him a gun steals a car

[00:01:42] Tries to run but he don't get far

[00:01:47] And his mama cries

[00:01:52] As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man

[00:01:55] Face down in the street with a gun in his hand

[00:01:58] In the ghetto

[00:02:01] And a young man dies

[00:02:09] On a cold and gray Chicago morn'

[00:02:12] Another little baby child is born

[00:02:15] In the ghetto

[00:02:20] And its mama cries
