Mama's Hungry Eyes - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)[00:00:01]
A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp[00:00:11]
Stand out in this memory I revived;[00:00:22]
Cause my daddy raised a family there [00:00:32]
With two hard working hands[00:00:39]
And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes [00:00:44]
He dreamed of something better [00:00:56]
And my mama's faith was strong[00:01:02]
And us kids were just to young to realize[00:01:06]
That another class of people put us[00:01:16]
Somewhere just below;[00:01:22]
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes [00:01:27]
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted[00:01:37]
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try [00:01:48]
She only wanted things she really needed;[00:01:59]
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes [00:02:10]
I remember daddy praying for a better way of life[00:02:20]
But I don't recall a change of any size;[00:02:32]
Just a little loss of courage [00:02:42]
As their age began to show[00:02:48]
And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes [00:02:53]
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted[00:03:03]
But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try [00:03:14]
She only wanted things she really needed;[00:03:25]
One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes [00:03:35]
Oh I still recall my mama's hungry eyes[00:03:46]
