Mama’s Hungry Eyes chords by George Jones
Verse 1
A
D
A canvas- covered cabin
G
D
In a crowded labor camp
A
Stands out in this memory I revile
D
'Cause my daddy raised a family there
G
D
With two hard- working hand
A
D
And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes
Verse 2
D
He dreamed of something better
G
D
And my mama's faith was strong
And us kids were just too
A
young to realize
D
That another class of people
G
D
Put us somewhere just below
One more reason,
A
D
for my mama's hungry eyes
Bm
Mama

I remember daddy's praying,
G

for a better way of life

as their age began to show
And more sadness,

in my mama's hungry eyes
