Verse 1
(A major) (D major) A canvas- covered cabin
In a (G major) crowded labor camp (D major)
Stands out in this memory I re (A major) vile
'Cause my (D major) daddy raised a family there
With (G major) two hard- working (D major) hand
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 real (A major) ize
That an (D major) other class of people
Put us some (G major) where just be (D major) low
One more reason,
for my (A major) mama's hungry (D major) eyes
(B minor) Mama

Verse 3
(D major) never had the (G major) luxury she (D major) wanted
But, it wasn't 'cause
my daddy (G major) didn't (D major) try
She only wanted (G major) things she really (D major) needed
One more reason,
for my (A major) mama's hungry (D major) eyes
Verse 4
I remember (D major) daddy's 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 little (D major) loss of courage,
as their (G major) age began to show (D major)
And more sadness,
in my (A major) mama's hungry (D major) eyes
(B minor) Mama
Verse 5
(D major) never had the (G major) luxury she (D major) wanted
But, it wasn't 'cause
my (G major) daddy didn't try (D major)
She only wanted (G major) things she really (D major) needed
One more reason,
for my (A major) mama's hungry (D major) eyes
