《Hungry Eyes》歌词

[00:00:00] Hungry Eyes - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:09] 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

[00:00:32] With two hard working hands

[00:00:37] And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes

[00:00:46] He dreamed of something better

[00:00:50] And my mama's faith was strong

[00:00:55] And us kids were just too young to realize

[00:01:04] That another class of people put us somewhere just below;

[00:01:14] One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

[00:01:22] Mama never had the luxuries she wanted

[00:01:32] But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try

[00:01:41] She only wanted things she really needed;

[00:01:50] One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

[00:01:59] I remember daddy praying for a better way of life

[00:02:09] But I don't recall a change of any size;

[00:02:18] Just a little loss of courage

[00:02:22] As their age began to show

[00:02:27] And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes

[00:02:35] Mama never had the luxuries she wanted

[00:02:45] But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try

[00:02:54] She only wanted things she really needed;

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

[00:03:12] Oh I still recall my mama's hungry eyes
