Mama's Hungry Eyes-The Jordanaires

Mama's Hungry Eyes - The Jordanaires 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 mamas hungry eyes He dreamed of something better and my mamas 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 mamas hungry eyes Mama never had the luxuries she wanted But it wasn't cause my daddy didnt try She only wanted things she really needed One more reason for my mamas hungry eyes I remember daddy praying for a better way of life But I dont recall a change of any size Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show And more sadness in my mamas hungry eyes Mama never had the luxuries she wanted But it wasn't cause my daddy didnt try She only wanted things she really needed One more reason for my mamas hungry eyes Oh I still recall my mamas hungry eyes
