[00:02.04]Written by：Merle Haggard
[00:07.16]A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
[00:15.78]Stands out in this memory I revile
[00:24.41]Cause my daddy raised a family there
[00:29.15]With two hard working hands
[00:33.52]And tried to feed my mamas hungry eyes
[00:42.46]He dreamed of something better and my mama's faith was strong
[00:51.00]Us kids were just too young to realize
[00:59.85]That another class of people put us somewhere just below
[01:08.74]One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
[01:17.05]Mama never had the luxury she wanted
[01:26.31]But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try
[01:35.36]She only wanted things she really needed
[01:43.89]One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
[01:52.72]I remember daddy praying for a better way of life
[02:01.70]But I don't recall a change of any size
[02:10.20]Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show
[02:19.09]And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes
[02:27.32]Mama never had the luxury she wanted
[02:36.71]But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try
[02:45.61]She only wanted things she really needed
[02:54.11]One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
[03:02.40]Oh I still recall my mama's hungry eyes
