HAGGARD MERLE - "Hungry Eyes" Tablature

HUNGRY EYES by 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


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
