D G D
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp,
A
Stand out in this memory I revived.
D G D
Cause my daddy raised a family there with two hard workin hands,
A D
And tried to feed my mama's hungry eye's.
D G D
He dreamed of something better and my mama's faith was strong,
A
And us kids were just to young to realize.
D G D
That another class of people put us somewhere just below,
A D
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
Refrão -------------
D G D
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted,
G D
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try.
G D
She only wanted things she really needed,
A D
One more reason for my mama's hungry eye's.
--------------------
D G D
I remember daddy prayin for a better way of life,
A
But I don't recall a change of any size.
D G D
Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show,
A D
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes.
