He dreamed of something better and my mama's faith was stong 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 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 mama 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 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. Oh, I still recall my mama's hungry eyes... Oklahoma Hills - Woody Guthrie Many a month has come and gone Since I wandered from my home In those Oklahoma hills where I was born. Many a page of life has turned, Many a lesson I have learned; Well, I feel like in those hills I still belong. 'Way down yonder in the Indian Nation Ridin' my pony on the reservation, In those Oklahoma hills where I was born. Now, 'way down yonder in the Indian Nation, A cowboy's life is my occupation, In those Oklahoma hills where I was born. But as I sit here today, Many miles I am away From a place I rode my pony through the draw, While the oak and blackjack trees Kiss the playful prairie breeze, In those Oklahoma hills where I was born. Now as I turn life a page To the land of the great Osage In those Oklahoma hills where I was born, While the black oil it rolls and flows And the snow-white cotton grows In those Oklahoma hills where I was born. New San Antonio Rose - Bob Wills Deep within my heart lies a melody A song of old San Antone Where in dreams I live with a memory Beneath the stars all alone It was there I found beside the Alamo Enchantment strange as the blue, up above A moonlit path that only she would know Still hears my broken song of love Moon in all your splendor knows only my heart Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone Lips so sweet and tender like petals fallin' apart Speak once again of my love, my own Broken song, empty words I know Still live in my heart all alone For that moonlit pass by the Alamo And Rose, my Rose of San Antone More 3 Song Sets    • 3 Song Sets to WOW the Crowd Every Time   Golden Oldies Classic Rock and Roll and Folk from 50's, 60's and 70's This channel features covers and a few originals incorporating a personal style that has evolved over six decades.
