Guns In The Ghetto — Ub40

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
