1
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
2
Stand out in this memory I revived
3
"˜Cause my daddy raised a family there
4
With two hard working hands
5
And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes
6
He dreamed of something better
7
And my mama's faith was strong
8
And us kids were just to young to realize
9
That another class of people put us somewhere just below
10
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
11
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
12
But it wasn't "˜cause my daddy didn't try
13
She only wanted things she really needed
14
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
15
I remember daddy praying for a better way of life
16
But I don't recall a change of any size
17
Just a little loss of courage, as their age began to show
18
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes
19
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
20
But it wasn't "˜cause my daddy didn't try
21
She only wanted things she really needed
22
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
23
Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes
