🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Fancy - Reba McEntire

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