《Mama’s Hungry Eyes - with Rodney Crowell》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama's Hungry Eyes - with Rodney Crowell - Emmylou Harris

[00:00:10] A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp

[00:00:18] Stand out in this memory I revived;

[00:00:27] Cause my daddy raised a family there

[00:00:31] With two hard working hands

[00:00:36] And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes

[00:00:44] He dreamed of something better

[00:00:48] And my mama's faith was strong

[00:00:53] And us kids were just to young to realize

[00:01:01] That another class of people

[00:01:06] Put us somewhere just below;

[00:01:10] One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

[00:01:18] Mama never had the luxuries she wanted

[00:01:27] But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try

[00:01:36] She only wanted things she really needed;

[00:01:45] One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

[00:02:11] I remember daddy praying for a better way of life

[00:02:20] But I don't recall a change of any size;

[00:02:28] Just a little loss of courage

[00:02:33] As their age began to show

[00:02:37] And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes

[00:02:46] Mama never had the luxuries she wanted

[00:02:54] But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try

[00:03:04] She only wanted things she really needed;

[00:03:12] One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

[00:03:20] Yes I still recall my mama's hungry eyes
