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