(Merle Haggard)      A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp   Stands out in this mem'ry I revive   '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 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.      --- Instrumental ---      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 one 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.      I still recall my mama's hungry eyes...
