song lyrics Hungry Eyes lyrics A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp Stand 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 But 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
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 more sadness in my mama s hungry eyes
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted... Yes I still recall my mama s hungry eyes song lyrics
