Lyrics Poverty And Misery In The Ghetto - The Heptones

Poverty And Misery In The Ghetto

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
