Poverty And Misery In The Ghetto - The Heptones

Poverty, misery in the ghetto

Poverty, misery in the ghetto

Born in Jamaica in the middle of the ghetto

I never know happiness, oooh yes

'Cause life in the ghetto, is only filled with pain

Poverty and pain every day, each and every day

Yoo-hoo-hoo-ooh

The mothers are crying, how their sons they are dying

Sisters have all gone astray, every day

'Cause poverty steps through the door

And love flies through the window

Just like a bird love flies away, in the skies away

Yoo-hoo-hoo-ooh

Poverty, misery in the ghetto

Poverty, misery in the ghetto

Yoo-hoo-hoo-ooh

The mothers are crying, how their sons they are dying

Sisters have all gone astray, every day

'Cause poverty steps through the door

And love flies through the window

Just like a bird love flies away, in the skies away

Yoo-hoo-hoo-ooh

Poverty
