Mama's Hungry Eyes

D                         G             D
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp,
                             A
Stand out in this memory I revived.
         D                                G               D
Cause my daddy raised a family there with two hard workin hands,
                     A             D
And tried to feed my mama's hungry eye's.


D                                     G                D
He dreamed of something better and my mama's faith was strong,
                                     A
And us kids were just to young to realize.
      D                             G                D
That another class of people put us somewhere just below,

                       A             D
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.

Mama never had the luxuries she wanted,
                       G            D
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try.
                G                 D
She only wanted things she really needed,
                       A             D
One more reason for my mama's hungry eye's.

D                             G             D
I remember daddy prayin for a better way of life,
                                   A
But I don't recall a change of any size.
       D                               G            D
Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show,
                       A             D
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes.
