Dolly Parton - In The Ghetto Lyrics
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
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
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
A 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
As her young man dies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto

Dolly Parton In The Ghetto Comments
I love this song by the legendary Dolly Parton. But y’all gotta admit, Eric Cartman was dead on with some of lyrics 🤣🤣
My favorite version...
Chicago
Dolly girl ur the best😎
It's not often you hear someone outdo Elvis Presley, but this version is the best I've heard.
sad reality of life
Remember Mac Davies .. he wrote it !
elvis verision was good but dolly really adds emotion to it. and that voice😍❤️
Yes that voice, she sounds like a Chipmonk.
james mcdonald Elvis sang it standard. Which is why it’ll always be the prime version. He sang it as a STATEMENT. For you to listen to it crystal clear the way you’re supposed to, as a message. With that being said I Love Dolly as well and enjoyed her version.
Simply beautiful voice
