Hungry Eyes
Ton : DEnglish
D D D A
Couplet
A Dcanvas covered Dcabin in a Gcrowded labour Dcamp
Stand Dout in this Dmemory I Arevived; A
'Cause my Ddaddy raised a Dfamily there with Gtwo hard working Dhands
And Dtried to feed my Amama's hungry Deyes. D
Couplet
He dreamed of something better and my mama's faith was strong
And us kids were just too young to realize
That another class of people put us somewhere just below;
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes.
Refrain
Mama Dnever had the Gluxuries she Dwanted D
But it Dwasn't 'cause my Gdaddy didn't Dtry. D
She Donly wanted Gthings she really Dneeded; D
One more Dreason for my Amama's hungry Deyes. D
Couplet
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 mama's hungry eyes.
Refrain
Mama 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 mama's hungry eyes.
DOh I still Arecall my mama's DhungDry Aeyes.
