🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Fancy - Reba McEntire

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