Hungry Eyes

By Merle Haggard

C                           F             C

A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp

G7

Stand out in this memory I revived

         C                                F                C

Cause my daddy raised a family there with two hard working hands

                     G7             C

And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes

                                      F                C

He dreamed of something better and my mama's faith was strong

G7

And us kids were just to young to realize

     C                              F              C

That another class of people put us somewhere just below

                       C7            C

One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

                   F            C

Mama never had the luxuries she wanted

                       F            C

But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try

                F                 C

She only wanted things she really needed

                       G7            C

One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

                               F             C

I remember daddy praying for a better way of life

G7

But I don't recall a change of any size

       C                         F                  C

Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show

                       G7            C

And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes
