I absolutely adore this song. It's very sad, and beautiful. It's also been claimed that it was Elvis' first social song, and i won't disagree with that claim.
It's one of my favourite ever Elvis song's, and i have a few, and i love the story of the song. It's very sad. It's a song about a baby being born into poverty, and how, as the baby grow's into a young man, he turn's to crime to get money, and that, ultimately kill's him.
And then, at the end of the song, there's another baby born, who we, the listener, is led to believe will endure the same fate, and tragic ending, as the first young boy. And, even today, the song is relevant. How many children live in poverty?. A lot.
I will stop rambling now. Just wanted to share my love of this song.
