Mama's Hungry Eyes

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


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

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

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

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