    What a talent ... hard to believe he's gone ... a great lyric:
    "As kids we 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."

      A lot of people may not realize that line. It was tough as hell for an Okie to make it in the land of promise. Not as easy as one would think.

    Love listening to him in the beginning of his career. He changed so much with the years and he just got better. He was the best of the best. I will always love his music.

      Whether at the beginning, the middle or the end ... one thing constant for all eternity is that Merle Haggard is the greatest that ever was.

    Beautiful and very profound text.
    Friends and I we recorded this music three days ago as an instrumental cover version. With alto saxophone, clarinet, guitar, e-piano, violin and drums.
    In Germany at the moment you see many hungry mothers eyes and silent crying.
    I'm making a video out of it for my channel.👍👍👍👍👍👍🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙🎙

    His voice and the way he performed his songs changed through the decades, all were incredible. But these early live videos are the real proof of what a soaring vocalist he was.

    Lyrics
    A canvas-covered cabin in a crowded labour camp
    Stand out in this memory I revived
    'Cause my daddy raised a family there, with two hard-working hands
    And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes
    He dreamed of something better, and my mama's faith was strong
    And us kids were just to young to realize
    That another class of people put us somewhere just below
    One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
    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
    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
    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
    Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes

    A great song.. not his best performance. Not " real " enough for a Haggard performance. His appearance on Marty Stuart when he was older had more raw emotion and gripped your soul. His son Marty also did a great job with this song.

      People forget just how shockingly versatile Merle Haggard was in his Musical prime. In addition to heartrending Ballads he did note perfect hilarious impersonations of Marty Robbins, Hank Snow, Buck Owens, and Johnny Cash. Plus he was a Cover Story of the Jazz Magazine "Downbeat."😂🤔🎤🎼🎵🎶🎸🎹🎻🎷🎺🥁B.W.
