Guns In The Ghetto Lyrics

Daddy don't go out tonight
Just stay home till morning light
Me and mamma don't feel right
Please hold us tight 

Daddy why did you go to work
When you know just how much we love you so
Please come back tomorrow 

Chorus 

They're giving out guns in the ghetto
They're saying they will set you free
One day I'll have children of my own
But I'm afraid they won't have me 

Mamma, is Daddy home
Why are you crying all alone
Grandma's tears have turned to stone
And I'm all alone 

Mamma isn't daddy back
I'm getting scared and that's a fact
Why are we all dressed like that
All in black 

Repeat Chorus 

Daddy don't go out tonight
Please stay home till morning light
Me and mamma don't feel right
Please hold us tight 

Daddy why did you go to work
When you know just how much we love you so
Please come back tomorrow 

Repeat Chorus 

Mamma, is Daddy home
Why are you crying all alone
Grandma's tears have turned to stone
And I'm chilled to the bone 

Mamma isn't daddy back
I'm getting scared and that's a fact
Why are we all dressed like that
All in black 

Repeat chorus four times
