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 mama's hungry eyes

He dreamed of something better

And my mama's faith was strong

And us kids were just to 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

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
