Haggard Merle — Hungry Eyes

C                             F               C  
А  canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp 
                            G7  
Stand out in this memory I revived 
        C                                  F                  C  
Cause my daddy raised a family there with two hard working hands 
                      G7               C  
And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes 
  
                                       F                  C  
He dreamed of something better and my mama's faith was strong 
                                      G7  
And us kids were just to young to realize 
      C                                F                C  
That another class of people put us somewhere just below 
                        G7              C  
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes 
  
                    F              C  
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted 
                        F              C  
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try 
                 F                   C  
She only wanted things she really needed 
                        G7              C  
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes 
  
                                F              C  
I remember daddy praying for a better way of life 
                                    G7  
But I don't recall a change of any size 
        C                           F                  C  
Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show 
                        G7              C  
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes
