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

As the snow flies[00:00:05]

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

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

In the ghetto[00:00:16]

And his mama cries[00:00:22]

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

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

In the ghetto[00:00:33]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

While the world turns[00:01:02]

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

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

In the ghetto[00:01:14]

And his hunger burns[00:01:16]

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

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

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

In the ghetto[00:01:30]

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

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

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

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

And his mama cries[00:01:47]

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

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

In the ghetto[00:01:58]

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

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

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

In the ghetto[00:02:15]

And its mama cries[00:02:20]
