Mama's Hungry Eyes |
| A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp |
| Stand out in this memory I revived |
| Because my daddy raised a family there, with two hard working hands |
| 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 too young to realize |
| That another class of people put us somewhere just below |
| One more reason for 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 |
| 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 |
| Oh, I still recall my mama’s hungry eyes |
