C                           F             C
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
                           G7
Stand out in this memory I revived
         C                                F                C
Cause my daddy raised a family there with two hard working hands
                     G7             C
And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes
                                      F                C
He dreamed of something better and my mama's faith was strong
                                     G7
And us kids were just to young to realize
     C                              F              C
That another class of people put us somewhere just below
                       G7            C
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
                   F            C
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
                       F            C
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try
                F                 C
She only wanted things she really needed
                       G7            C
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
                               F             C
I remember daddy praying for a better way of life
                                   G7
But I don't recall a change of any size
       C                         F                  C
Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show
                       G7            C
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes
                   F            C
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
                       F            C
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try
                F                 C
She only wanted things she really needed
                       G7            C
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
