In The Ghetto by Elvis Presley

As the snow flies on a cold and gray (1)______________ mornin'

A poor (2)____________ baby (3)__________ 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 (4)____________________ 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 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 (5)__________ man

Face (6)________ on the street (7)________ a gun in his hand in the ghetto




As her young man dies on a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

Another little (8)________ (9)__________ is born in the ghetto




And his mama cries
