Mama’s Hungry Eyes chords by Emmylou Harris
Intro 1
D
G
Verse 1
G
A canvas covered cabin
C
G
in a crowded labour camp
D
Stand out in this memory I revived;
G
Cause my daddy raised a family there,
C
G
with two hard working hands
And tried to feed my
D
G
mama's hungry eyes.
He dreamed of something better,
C
G
and my mama's faith was strong
D
And us kids were just to young to realize
G
That another class of people put us
C
G
somewhere just below;
One more reason for my
D
G
mama's hungry eyes.
C
G
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasn't cause my
C
G
daddy didn't try.
C
She only wanted things
G
she really needed;
D
One more reason for my mama's
G
C
G
C
G
hungry eyes.
D
G
I remember daddy praying for
C
G
a better way of life
D
But I don't recall a change of any size;
G
Just a little loss of courage,
C
G
as their age began to show
D
And more sadness in my mama's
G
hungry eyes.
C
G
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
But it wasn't cause my
C
G
daddy didn't try.
C
She only wanted things
G
she really needed;
One more reason for my
D
G
mama's hungry eyes.
D
G
Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes.
