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