George Jones - Mamma's Hungry Eyes Lyrics

Font:

Align:

A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp

Stands out in this memory I revile

'Cause my daddy raised a family there with two hard working hand

And tried to feed my mamma's hungry eyes

He dreamed of something better and my mamma'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 mamma's hungry eyes

Mamma, never had the luxury 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

I remember daddy's 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 mamma's hungry eyes

Mamma never had the luxury she wanted

But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try

She only wanted things she really needed

One more reason for my mamma's hungry eyes
