Hungry Eyes Merle Haggard
A canvas covered[C] cabin in a crowded labor ca[F]mp[C]
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 e[C]yes
He dreamed of something better and my [F]mama's faith was [C]strong
And us kids were just to young to rea[G7]lize
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]things 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 [C]show
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]things she really [C]needed
One more reason for my [G7]mama's hungry [C]eyes
