Guns In The Ghetto Lyrics - Ub40

Daddy don't go out tonight 

Just stay home till morning light 

Me and mama 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 

Mama, is Daddy home 

Why are you crying all alone 

Grandma's tears have turned to stone 

And I'm all alone 

Mama isn't daddy back 

I'm getting scared and that's a fact 

Why are we all dressed like that 

All in black 

[Chorus] 

Daddy don't go out tonight 

Please stay home till morning light 

Me and mama 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] 

Mama, is Daddy home 

Why are you crying all alone 

Grandma's tears have turned to stone 

And I'm chilled to the bone 

Mama isn't daddy back 

I'm getting scared and that's a fact 

Why are we all dressed like that 

All in black 

[Chorus: x4]
