Hungry Eyes(2006 Digital Remaster)
A canvas covered cabin
- A canvas covered cabin
- In a crowded labour camp
- Stand out in this memory I revived;
- Cause 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 to 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
