INTRO RE RE RE LA
RE RE SOL RE
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp
RE RE LA LA
Stand out in this memory I revived;
RE RE SOL RE
Cause my daddy raised a family there, with two hard working hands
RE LA RE RE
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 to young to realize
That another class of people put us somewhere just below;
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
CHORUS RE SOL RE RE
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
RE SOL RE RE
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try.
RE SOL RE RE
She only wanted things she really needed;
RE LA RE RE
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
I remember daddy 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 luxuries 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.
