🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Fancy - Reba McEntire

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