Mama's Hungry Eyes - with Rodney Crowell - Emmylou Harris[00:00:00]
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp[00:00:10]
Stand out in this memory I revived;[00:00:18]
Cause my daddy raised a family there [00:00:27]
With two hard working hands[00:00:31]
And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes [00:00:36]
He dreamed of something better [00:00:44]
And my mama's faith was strong[00:00:48]
And us kids were just to young to realize[00:00:53]
That another class of people[00:01:01]
Put us somewhere just below;[00:01:06]
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes [00:01:10]
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted[00:01:18]
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try [00:01:27]
She only wanted things she really needed;[00:01:36]
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes [00:01:45]
I remember daddy praying for a better way of life[00:02:11]
But I don't recall a change of any size;[00:02:20]
Just a little loss of courage [00:02:28]
As their age began to show[00:02:33]
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes [00:02:37]
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted[00:02:46]
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try [00:02:54]
She only wanted things she really needed;[00:03:04]
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes [00:03:12]
Yes I still recall my mama's hungry eyes[00:03:20]
