Generate meaning
1
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
2
Stands out in this memory I revive
3
'Cause my daddy raised a family there with two hard working hands
4
To try to feed my mama's hungry eyes
5
He dreamed of something better and my mama's faith was strong
6
And us kids were just too 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 luxuries she wanted
10
But it wasn't â€~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 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 luxuries
18
Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes
