Merle Haggard - Hungry eyes

^CA canvas covered cabin in a ^Fcrowded labor ^Ccamp Stand out in this memory I ^G7revived

Cause my ^Cdaddy raised a family there with ^Ftwo hard working ^Chands And tried to feed my ^G7mama's hungry e^Cyes

He dreamed of something better and my ^Fmama's faith was ^Cstrong And us kids were just to young to rea^G7lize

That ^Canother class of people put us ^Fsomewhere just ^Cbelow One more reason for my ^G7mama's hungry ^Ceyes

Mama never had the ^Fluxuries she ^Cwanted But it wasn't cause my ^Fdaddy didn't ^Ctry

She only wanted ^Fthings she really ^Cneeded One more reason for my ^G7mama's hungry ^Ceyes

I remember daddy praying for a ^Fbetter way of ^Clife But I don't recall a change of any ^G7size

Just a ^Clittle loss of courage as ^Ftheir age began to ^Cshow And more sadness in my ^G7mama's hungry ^Ceyes

Mama never had the ^Fluxuries she ^Cwanted But it wasn't cause my ^Fdaddy didn't ^Ctry

She only wanted ^Fthings she really ^Cneeded One more reason for my ^G7mama's hungry ^Ceyes
