                         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
