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
'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

I love this song, but I cant help but to sing it like Cartman. Haha
Hahahahah yes

How many people still listening to Elvis in 2023
Alguém em 2024 ❤❤
You still live Elvis👍
All I can hear is Eric Cartman singing 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
my brothers and I just buried our old mummy today and this is the Elvis song she loved because she took in to our house and home loads of strangers and poor old ladies and mum always had a place at table for the stranger. us boys met heaps of angels going through to do what we couldn't understand but alluded to by mum wisdom.
My condolences my friend your mother sounds like a beautiful soul and i know the angels have a place set for her in heaven just the same as she had a place set for the people who needed it

This song is my song for describing me living in a group home after having a troubled family relationship over the years. I’m 25 now and I was admitted to a cultural group home in Valley Stream, New York in 2020 during the Covid20 pandemic. I have PTSD from being in a residential school in Upstate New York for 3 years from 2014-2017 and I was abused there. I never went to college after I graduated from that institution. Now in 2024 I don’t have any friends my age and I have been separated from my family for years. I have been in the group home for 4 years now since 2020 and I want to get out soon. I want to be closer to my parents again but they are getting older and my dad doesn’t get along with me. I hope my family realizes that I want to reunite with them and be discharged from the group home one day so I can be happy and enjoy life again. God Bless All. Matty. ❤️ 💐
Elvis saw no color and that ladies and gentlemen was what made him the King!
My mama shared his birthday.... She loved his music. She passed away on January 6th 2020 ...2 days shy of that shared birthday. I was born during a time in my Mama's life when things were not easy for her and daddy and somehow she always made certain I had clothes on my back and supper on the table. I watched her work two jobs for little pay and she managed. That woman was my best friend. I'm playing the song again and I hope you are singing along with me...RIP mama
Sorry for your loss.
Rip
My baby is 33 now and homeless and stepdad so mean and son works triple digits heat all day saving money trying to protect himself and I ask for prayer. If you listen to Elvis you must know he was also king of all night gospel music to relax and he loved his mama--God bless you Elvis rip
I wish this song was about 3 minutes longer
Listening in 2024 ❤
My dad used to sing me this song when I was a baby. I always loved it. About the time I turned 5 I started understanding the lyrics and cried and asked him not to sing it anymore. What I would give to hear that one more time now.
People say Elvis Didn't write his songs and while technically he didn't he did put his genius on it. The writer of this song said that Elvis came up with the idea of finishing the song with " And his momma cries" to create the vicious circle effect of the song.
That is creativity people
He can not be replaced. What a voice
The King
He did so much for the black youth. Man before his time.
Elvis sang this so beautifully.
My dad loved this one love ☮️
Elvis knew
In 1969 when this song came out, I was 9 years old lying in the hospital from an eye accident, listening to this song on a small transistor radio my mom had bought me.
This song was pure genius, people today can relate to this song, the same way people related to it back then. It’s one of my favorite songs from him.
Disagree it’s only pointing out that shit happens without othering a solution same as all idealistic socialism trope
kinda sad though that we can still relate
Sun 7 April 2024: You know, it's been many years since I last heard this song, and hearing it again gave me goose-bumps, and my blood ran cold. It's one of Elvis' better songs and undeniably this can be very true of a lot of poor families in America. So glad to have listened to it again.
I've been listening to this song all my life.. I'm 43 and still playing it...
Elvis:. PERFECTION
cried when this song came on during the credits of the elvis movie. i was raised on elvis, especially this song.
But the movie was absolute crap? Weep at the movie being such a waste.
@@harvardsmithdeangelo6905 how could you say that? Are you even an Elvis fan?
@@clarkconner it didn't even cover any of his gospel career. also remember that scene with the random crackhouse music lmao the movie was very bad, Austin was good but it ended up mostly pointless
I'm here because my grandmother loved this song and I miss her😎👍
WHAT A AWESOME VOICE NOONE EVER CAN REPLACE THAT HES BRILLIANT
55 years and this song is just as relevant as the day it was penned
More relevant imho.
REALLY????
@@chodeshadar18 Absolutely.
This was the perfect song to end “Elvis” (2022) with. Really sticks with me
I kept hoping the whole movie they’d show him playing it, because it’s my favorite Elvis song! Then the credits rolled and I clapped when I heard it playing. If Austin Butler doesn’t win an Oscar for that performance, I’d boycott the Academy! Some critics have been way too hard on this film, only because they’d rather hear themselves talk than actually witness a beautiful film.
Sadly they remixed it....
Me too
It was an awesome remix for a movie theater sound system
@@chasjohn57 agreed
Singing this while going to Kenny’s is my favorite pastime
55 years later we still haven't listened to the Kings imploring words. Whole worlds heard them, few heeded them.
Elvis is forever the king.
Elvis Presley could sing any song that is why he's the king
My father bought a "suitcase" with Country and Western and this song was one of the cassettes. I played the cassettes over and over.
Beautiful song, I remember my father had an old tape and I used to listen to it all the time even if I was only a young boy and had never known Elvis before..
It’s as relevant now as ever before. That saddens me that we as a society keep turning our heads to everyone on earth that struggles.
Elvis KNEW about suffering, pity, hurt and the downtrodden. I was very young when this played on my Dad's house radio. Powerful! Elvis rocks!!
Yes and he felt every word of this song!!
Wake up America! We all need to take this song to heart! I’m glad Elvis was very generous to others who were far less fortunate than himself. Sing it Elvis Presley!
I love Elvis and his music is forever popular I love his music as well and he will FOREVER BE MISSED!! R.I.P ELVIS🙏🙏❤️
Just went back home to Maryland for first time other than a funeral in 30+ years. Knew things got worse in Baltimore over time. Never expected to see how bad and deteriorated. Broke my heart. It is now truly a ghetto. I pray for those that live there in poverty and despair.
Baltimore is truly a warzone now
46 years after his passing, Elvis is still the undisputed King !!!!!!
Amen! Elvis, forever The King!
Elvis Presley that's true what you say he is still the King of Rock and Roll
and the queen is...? emperor?
Great song penned by Mac Davis and sung by Elvis
This man’s music moves the heart
Elvis will always be the king
Would’ve been 85 today. Happy birthday, Elvis. R.I.P., King.
powerful song. sad that is it still just as relevant today as it was in the 50s
Elvis came from a dirty poor background, not quite a Chicago ghetto, but still I’d imagine he remembered the pains and struggles of growing up poor and with nothing
I'm a black woman and didn't know of this song period until this one coworker back around 2006 talked about this song. I NEVER heard of it and I know Elvis Presley's songs. Now that I have, I like it.
I grew up in the South Bronx New York, this song has always hit home when I hear this classic song. Long live Elvis❤🎶
La plus merveilleuse des chansons d Elvis on t aime toujours tu es le plus grand
This is the first song I ever heard by Elvis Presley
My mom was the biggest Elvis fan i knew, and loved this song above all else.
She passed away sorrounded by her family while listening to this song. It never fails to make me cry.
Elvis saw no colour just people that were his friends, in the ghetto is one of his best Elvis broke barriers making the world a better place for ever - love you King
One of my favorite songs from Elvis❤❤
Great song .today this is stil actuel.
average walk to kenny's house
LOL
The Ghetto hasn't changed that much since this song came out a very long time ago Timeless song
Got goosebumps listening to this song. I haven't played it for a long time, and if my memory serves me correctly I think I tried singing this at karaoke at RSA a few years ago, and "trying" being the operative word lol 😂
Whos here in April 2024?
May 7, 2024. 1:20 am.
R.I.P to the writer of this fantastic song, The great Mac Davis.
"and as her young man dies..." Just crushing.
Not the way Cartman sings it.
Forever Elvis! 2023. g.
The fact that he also grew up in poverty, back in that time being white but growing up in Black neighborhood must have been looked down but it is what gave Elvis his spirit of music! Beautiful Artist🙌🏻🙌🏻
No one comes close to him even today.
His twin died.😢
Probably the most powerful song of Elvis. And one of the most beautiful songs of all time.
@@karlwithak1835 That's not the fault of the song, but that of society, my friend.
@@karlwithak1835 You didn't say that, I said that.
This song still has a powerful message 50 years later.
Yeah, sad but so true 🙏🌺😔
Yeah
Yeas 😁
He would be alarmed at what Chicago has turned into. Stop f'in killing gangstas
@@havanadaurcy1321 stop being "gangsta's"
Love your children
When he said “in the ghetto” I felt that.
This man opened the door for all the artist who have come after him and have had the convience of performing the way they wanted maybe?!? They owe that "road" to the King Elvis...he paved that one for you all - no doubt!!!
this man stole other people's songs... pathetic
+kholiday456 really? Whose songs did he steal? Please name one. All the people who wrote his songs got royalties. He didn't steal anything. There were a ton of great artists who were influenced by other musicians before their time. Elvis was a product of his environment just like everyone else.
kholiday456 most people in mainstream music today don't write their music
Take good care of your daughter and grandson now Elvis. RIP Lisa Marie Presley
This is my favorite song of Elvis Presley. The profound meaning, the cycle of pain and suffering in the song is well expressed!
There will always be pain and suffering.I know first hand
One of the most poignant songs ever. Elvis nailed it too. Here's my 2022 version:
ruclips.net/video/fJqpyt9w-Tg/видео.html.
Hit the nail on the head
@@craig9630 it’s how we chose to handle it…that’s they key
When the snow flies and a hungry little boy with a runny nose..... Elvis voice you can hear the pain and sorrow🙏🙏
RIP Elvis Presley (January 8, 1935 - August 16, 1977), aged 42
RIP Lisa Marie Presley (February 1, 1968 - January 12, 2023), aged 54
RIP Benjamin Keough (October 21, 1992 - July 12, 2020), aged 27
You will be remembered as legends.
I suggest you erase that August date. Because legends never die.
@@210clevenger9 true, but Elvis is dead as is Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Buddy Holly, Frank Sinatra and possibly the of the greatest song writers - the great Hank Williams Sr.
Everyone from Little Richard, James Brown, Tony Bennett, Kitty Wells, Emmylou Harris, Brenda Lee, Fats Domino, *Elvis Presley,* the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Lucinda Williams and Garth Brooks and lastly Leon Russell and Van Morrison have done complete albums of Hank Williams music.
Listen to George Thorogood doing Hank's classic - "Move it on Over".

He may have died physically but not in my heart Elvis was a role model for me he inspired me I want to be singer like him and Sinatra I sang one of his songs on a Thursday night and one of Sinatra
Been to see the elvis movie twice already. This plays during the credits. I've cried each time
I didn’t realize he was so young. I was in high school band camp when I heard the news heard the news of his death. When I think of all the suffering he went through at the end of his life and how crazy his life became because of his fame, it breaks my heart. I’m 60, and knowing that he went through all that Paden obsession indicted only 42 is so tragic.
I fell at the kings feet, just fantastic , people nail songs all through our lives, and he did this {{♡OHMYGOSH♡}}
The Greatest Entertainer To Ever Walk This Planet ! Elvis Aaron Presley ! The King !❤
This song is a masterpiece.m and no one can sing it like Elvis. I could listen to it a 100 times and it still gives me goosebumps and makes me cry. It's timeless.
He was such a great singer and a true legend ❤
Surprisingly Tyson Fury can sing this very well. For no reason at all
@@thunks4581 Wow! I just listened to it and you're absolutely right. I did not expect that at all.
@@thunks4581 Austin Butler (who played Elvis In the biopic) is also fantastic, but the scene was deleted. ruclips.net/video/Mnp-cMyTzAM/видео.htmlsi=I38v85XYGINO8_6_
Saw the Elvis movie it was so sad but good r.i.p to the 👑
This song would not go over well today, though it’s super true
I worked on Elvis's last 2 tours. (Didn't ask, but was assigned). When he played this song, you could feel the audience's love, they would sit/stand quietly until it was over, then a wild round of applause and tears that could be seen from the stage ❤️
Cool story thanks for sharing
Much love to Elvis and his family
Awesome story 👍🇨🇦 lucky girl
What kind of work did you have to do when you worked his last 2 tours?
Same
@@pablojose4890, I was a Flight attendant on one of the planes they leased.
I cant even sing or didnt even grow up listening to Elvis lucky for me my dad expressed his love for this man thank god he did ...music back then was truly thought provoking and emotional ...RIP ELVIS
This song is so sad, but it is still my favorite of Elvis's songs.
I grew up with Elvis. But he has two songs that are perfect. And still mean the same. In the ghetto is one. An absolute master of music. Never wrote a complete song himself but made every song that he sang something that was absolutely original and perfect!!!
Pray tell us what the other perfect song is!? Coz I love a lot more than just 2...
Not going to lie, this song made me cry because of the lyrics and Elvis' sweet voice.
The string instruments sound sad too
Same here
I saw him in concert at the age of 4. My father was stationed in Germany with Elvis in the Army. He cried whenever he sang this song. He was SO NICE to me. I was heartbroken when he died, but my parents wouldn’t allow me to attend his funeral with them. He was amazing!
My favorite song by Elvis, and arguably his best.
Guess what? The last line was added by elvis.
Mac Davis, the writer was stunned.
It raises the level of the song immensely.
Yet another example of elvis's artistry in the recording studio.
I taught ghetto kids. I taught for 23 years there. I loved them all. Miss my kids at work. Medical retirement. I wanted to take them all home
okay?
The king Elvis. The full package no competition even in 2023. Love all Elvis songs. Love u Elvis ❤
He sounded like an Angel......
One time for Elvis' grandson, Benjamin... You will be missed, handsome! 🙏❤️ R.I.P.
I was born in Chicago in 1957. This song had a huge impact on me when it came out in 1969. I remember the winter of 69 to 70, and this song was being played on the radio.
ELVIS will always be the king of rock and roll
Elvis died 45 years ago and he is still a legend. RIP King
This song is deep when u pay attention cuz shit like this happens every day
Dude, this song is flippin' beautiful.
An immortal song.
This song was the most influential Elvis ever made. No one has sung it with the right amount of feeling especially early in the song when he asks 'if we turn away' that question has so much conviction of who we really are
Well no one except eric cartman
RIP Mac Davis, the songwriter of this beautiful song
Rodrigo Gonçalves and A Little Less Conversation. A multi-talented guy
Just learned this fact yesterday thank you for acknowledging it I was about to comment that myself
Lol I forgot he sung this
DaKing’
Thank you. I did not know that. I remember him well. So many people deeper than we know.
I remember being a homeless young boy hearing this song for the first time and feeling so sad for the boy in the song. Not realizing that I was just as bad off. Thankfully I had a very strong single mother who wouldn’t let me out of her sight hardly. At the time I resented it but she did the right thing and kept me out of an unwise path path. I pray for everyone in poverty. I learned not to rely on the government and to make my own way even if the job I had was terrible.
I feel you brother. I was this kid with the exception of a family who loved me. Did what they coukd and I handled the rest.
Thanks for the comment. appreciate it; going through rough times. This comment and the song reminded me it could be much worse, there are people much worse off.
@@brianlopez8970 hope things are going well for u brother
Life is good brother... tough at times but with love and good music fron the king... we get through. Hope all is well with you too
@@brianlopez8970 Thank u ur right. I really appreciate u takin time to give kind words in return; seriously. Really struggling and ur right. There's too much hate in the world, on RUclips comments, and all social media - its nice to see something positive for a change instead of shit talking; nevermind kindness from a stranger. Thanks, take care man. Best wishes.
Thursday August 16th 2022, 45 years later, i’m here ❤️!
timeless song!
Always loved how he says Ghetto... damn that southern accent 🥰
Thank You, Elvis...🙏🏽
No problem
Even in 2023 this song is still valid.
