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