🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Fancy - Reba McEntire

 I remember it all very well lookin' 
  was the summer I turned eighteen
 We lived in a  room, rundown shack
 On the outskirts  New Orleans
 We didn't have  for food or rent
 To say the least we  hard pressed
 Then  spent every last penny we had
  buy me a dancin' dress
 
 Mama washed  combed and curled my hair
 And  painted my eyes and lips
  I stepped into a satin dancin' dress that had a split from the side clean up to my hips
 It was red velvet trimmin'  it fit me good
 Standin' back  the lookin' glass
 There stood a woman where a  grown kid had stood
 
 She said here's your  chance Fancy don't let me down
  said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
 
 Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on  neck
  she kissed my cheek
 And then I saw the tears wellin' up in  troubled eyes
 as  started to speak
  looked at our pitiful shack
 And then she  at me and took a ragged breath
 She said your Pa's run'd off, I'm real 
 And  baby's gonna starve to death
 
  handed me a heart shaped locket that said
  thine own self be true"
 And I shivered as I  a roach crawl across
 The toe  my high heel shoe
 It sounded like somebody  that was talkin'
 Askin' Mama what  I do
 She said just be  to the gentlemen Fancy
 They'll  nice to you
 
 She  here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
 She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me 
 Lord forgive me for what  do, but if you want out
 it's up to 
 don't let me down now your  gonna move you uptown.
 
 That was  last time I saw my Mama
 The night I left that  shack
 The  people came and took the baby
 Mama  and I ain't been back
 
 But the wheels of fate had started to 
 And for me there was no  out
 It wasn't very long 'til I knew 
 What  Mama been talkin' about
 
 I  what I had to do and I made myself this solemn vow
 I was gonna be a lady 
 Though I didn't know  or how
 But I couldn't see spendin' the rest  my life
 With  head hung down in shame
 You  I might have been born just plain white trash
  Fancy was my name
 
 She said here's your one chance  don't let me down
 She said  your one chance Fancy don't let me down
 
 It wasn't very long  a benevolent man
 Took me  off the streets
 One week  I was pourin' his tea
 In a five room hotel  [yes she was]
 
 I charmed a  a congressman
 And an  aristocrat
 And then I got  a Georgia mansion
  an elegant New York townhouse flat
 And I ain't gone back [she ain't gone 
 
 Now in this  there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrites
 That'd  me bad [bad]
 And criticize Mama for turning me 
 No matter  little we had
 
 But  I ain't had to worry 'bout nothin'
 For nigh on  years
  can still hear the desperation in my poor
 Mama's  ringin' in my ear
 
 Here's your one chance  don't let me down
 here's your one chance Fancy don't let me 
 Lord, forgive  for what I do
 But if you want out it's up  you
 don't  me down, hon
 Mama's  move you uptown
 
 Oh, and I guess  did.
