Elvis on the Radio, Steel Guitar in My Soul Lyrics
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto
As the snow flies
As the snow flies
As the snow flies
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
And his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It's another hungry mouth to feed in the ghetto
As the snow flies
As the snow flies
As the snow flies
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child is born in the ghetto
About
Genius Annotation
Since the album Chill Out is meant to evoke a nighttime car ride in the deep south, sampling Elvis Presley is of course a great way to evoke that aesthetic
The specific song sampled is Elvis' 1969 record “In the Ghetto,” a story of generational cycles of poverty
Elvis is supplemented by steel pedal guitar contributions from Graham Lee, and background effects (mainly train and bird noises) from The KLF
