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 |
