Intro 1
(D major) (D major) (D major) (D major)
Verse 1
A (D major) canvas-covered cabin
in a (G major) crowded labour (D major) camp
Stand out in this memory I re (A major) vived
'Cause my (D major) daddy raised a family there,
with (G major) two hard-working (D major) hands
And tried to feed my (A major) mama's hungry (D major) eyes

Verse 2
He (D major) dreamed of something better,
and my (G major) mama's faith was (D major) strong
And us kids were just too young to realize (A major)
That an (D major) other class of people
put us (G major) somewhere just be (D major) low
One more reason for my (A major) mama's hungry (D major) eyes
Chorus 1
Mama (D major) never had the (G major) luxuries she (D major) wanted
But it wasn't 'cause my (G major) daddy didn't (D major) try
She only wanted things (G major) she really (D major) needed
One more reason for my (A major) mama's hungry (D major) eyes
Verse 3
I re (D major) member daddy praying
for a (G major) better way of (D major) life
But I don't recall a change of any (A major) size
Just a (D major) little loss of courage,
as their (G major) age began to (D major) show
And more sadness in my (A major) mama's hungry (D major) eyes
Chorus 2
Mama (D major) never had the (G major) luxuries she (D major) wanted
But it wasn't 'cause my (G major) daddy didn't (D major) try
She only wanted things (G major) she really (D major) needed
One more reason for my (A major) mama's hungry (D major) eyes
Oh, I still recall my (A major) mama's hungry (D major) eyes
