Karaoke Track: Mamma's Hungry Eyes by Merle Haggard (Top Hits) - Karaoke Nerds

A canvas covered cabin
in a crowded labor camp

stand out

in this mem'ry I revived

in a crowded labor camp

stand out

in this mem'ry I revived

'Cause my daddy

raised a family there

with two hard workin' hands

and tried to feed

He dreamed of

somethin' better

and my Mama's

the luxuries she wanted

but it wasn't 'cause

my daddy didn't try

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 prayin'
for a better way of life

But I don't recall

a change of any size

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
One more reason

for my mama's hungry eyes

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

Oh I still recall

my mama's hungry eyes
