[D] A canvas -covered cabin in [D] a crowded labor camp.
Stand out in this memory I [A] revive.
Cause my daddy raised a family there [G] with two hard-working [D] hands.
And tried to feed [A] my mama's [D] hungry eyes.
He dreamed of something better and [G] my mama's faith [D] was strong.
And us kids were just too young to [A] realize
[A]
[D] That another class of people put [G] us somewhere [D] just below.
One more reason [A] for my mama's [D] hungry eyes.
Mama never [G] had the luxury [D] she wanted.
But it wasn't cause [G] my daddy [D] didn't try.
She only [G] wanted things she [D] really needed.
One more reason [A] for my mama's hungry [D] eyes.
I remember daddy praying [D] for a better way of life.
But I don't recall a change [A] of any size.
[E] [D] Just a little loss of courage as [G] their age began [D] to show.
And more sadness in [A] my mama's [D] hungry eyes.
Mama never had [G] the luxury she [D] wanted.
But it wasn't cause my [G] daddy didn't try.
She only wanted things she really [D] needed.
One more reason for my [A] mama's hungry eyes.
Oh, I still recall [A] my mama's [D] hungry eyes.
