[00:00.00]Mamas Hungry Eyes - Emmylou Harris with Rodney Crowell - Del McCoury
[00:10.21]A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp
[00:18.76]Stand out in this memory I revived;
[00:27.07]Cause my daddy raised a family there
[00:31.88]With two hard working hands
[00:36.11]And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes
[00:44.94]He dreamed of something better
[00:48.95]And my mama's faith was strong
[00:53.31]And us kids were just to young to realize
[01:01.92]That another class of people
[01:06.36]Put us somewhere just below;
[01:10.54]One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
[01:18.91]Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
[01:27.71]But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try
[01:36.99]She only wanted things she really needed;
[01:45.38]One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
[02:11.67]I remember daddy praying for a better way of life
[02:20.51]But I don't recall a change of any size;
[02:28.66]Just a little loss of courage
[02:33.56]As their age began to show
[02:37.83]And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes
[02:46.27]Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
[02:54.88]But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try
[03:04.23]She only wanted things she really needed;
[03:12.70]One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes
[03:20.59]Yes I still recall my mama's hungry eyes
