- Elvis Presley - In The Ghetto
- 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
- Well the world turns
- And 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
- And as her young man dies,
- On a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
- Another little baby child is born
- In the ghetto
- And his mama cries
