1
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
2
Stands out in this memory I revile
3
'Cause my daddy raised a family there with two hard working hand
4
And tried to feed my mamas hungry eyes.
5
He dreamed of something better and my mama's faith was stong
6
And us kids were just to young to realize
7
That another class of people put us somewhere just below
8
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
9
Mama, never had the luxury she wanted
10
But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try
11
She only wanted things she really needed
12
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
13
I remember daddy's praying for a better way of life
14
But I don't recall a change of any size
15
Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show
16
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes.
17
Mama never had the luxury she wanted
18
But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try
19
She only wanted things she really needed
20
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes...
