Hungry Eyes - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)/The Strangers[00:00:00]
Written by:Merle Haggard[00:00:01]
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp[00:00:09]
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[00:00:32]
And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes[00:00:37]
He dreamed of something better[00:00:46]
And my mama's faith was strong[00:00:50]
And us kids were just to young to realize[00:00:55]
That another class of people put us somewhere just below[00:01:04]
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes[00:01:13]
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted[00:01:22]
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try[00:01:32]
She only wanted things she really needed[00:01:41]
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes[00:01:50]
I remember daddy praying for a better way of life[00:01:59]
But I don't recall a change of any size[00:02:08]
Just a little loss of courage[00:02:17]
As their age began to show[00:02:22]
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes[00:02:26]
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted[00:02:35]
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try[00:02:45]
She only wanted things she really needed[00:02:54]
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes[00:03:03]
Oh I still recall my mama's hungry eyes[00:03:12]
