On a cold and grey Chicago morn' another liitle baby child is born

In the ghetto

And his mother cries ( in the ghetto )

'Cause if there's one thing that she don't need, it's another little hungry

mouth to feed In the ghetto
MI RE LA
Now people don't you understand The child needs a helping hand

as the world turns
LAmaj7 SIm
and a hungry little child with a runny nose plays in the streets
MI LA RE LA
as the cold wind blows And his hunger burns

So he starts to roam the streets at night and he learns how to steal
MI LA RE LA RE LA
and he learns how to fight In the ghetto

And 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 mother cries

As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man face down in the street

with a gun in his hand
LA RE LA
as her young man dies

on a cold and grey Chicago morn' another little baby child is born
