《Mama’s Hungry Eyes》歌词

[00:00:00] Mama's Hungry Eyes - Okies From Muskogee

[00:00:11] A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labor camp

[00:00:20] Stand out in this memory I revived

[00:00:29] 'Cause my daddy raised a family there

[00:00:34] With two hard working hands

[00:00:38] And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes

[00:00:47] He dreamed of something better

[00:00:52] And my mama's faith was strong

[00:00:57] And us kids were just too young to realize

[00:01:06] That another class of people put us somewhere just below

[00:01:15] One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

[00:01:24] Mama never had the luxuries she wanted

[00:01:34] But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try

[00:01:44] She only wanted things she really needed

[00:01:53] One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

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

[00:02:11] But I don't recall a change of any size

[00:02:21] Just a little loss of courage as their age began to show

[00:02:30] And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes

[00:02:40] Mama never had the luxuries she wanted

[00:02:49] But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try

[00:02:59] She only wanted things she really needed

[00:03:08] One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

[00:03:18] Yes I still recall my mama's hungry eyes
