HUNGRY EYES (Merle Haggard) A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp Stand out in this memory I revived Cause my daddy raised a family there,with two hard working hands And tried to feed my mammas hungry eyes He dreamed of something better and my mamma's faith was strong And us kids were just to young to realize That another class of people put us somewhere down below One more reason for my mamma's hungry eyes cho: Mamma 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 mamma'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 mamma's hungry eyes Mamma 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 mamma's hungry eyes I can still recall my mamma's hungry eyes Copyright Merle Haggard @country @poverty filename[ HUNGRYEY GG apr97  8note Sheet |
