🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Fancy - Reba McEntire

 I  it all very well lookin' back
 It  the summer I turned eighteen
  lived in a one room, rundown shack
 On  outskirts of New Orleans
 We didn't  money for food or rent
 To say the least we were hard 
 Then Mama  every last penny we had
 To buy me a  dress
 
 Mama  and combed and curled my hair
 And she painted my  and lips
 Then I stepped into a satin dancin' dress that had a split from the side clean up to my 
 It was red velvet trimmin' and it fit me 
 Standin' back from  lookin' glass
 There stood  woman where a half grown kid had stood
 
 She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let  down
  said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
 
 Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume  my neck
 Then she  my cheek
 And then I saw the tears wellin' up  her troubled eyes
  she started 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  baby's gonna starve to death
 
 She handed me  heart shaped locket that said
  thine own self be true"
 And I shivered as I watched a roach  across
 The  of my high heel shoe
 It sounded like somebody else that  talkin'
 Askin'  what do I do
 She said just be nice to the  Fancy
 They'll be nice  you
 
 She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let  down
  said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
 Lord forgive  for what I do, but if you want out
  up to you
 don't let me down  your Mama's gonna move you uptown.
 
 That  the last time I saw my Mama
 The night I  that rickety shack
 The welfare people came  took the baby
 Mama died and  ain't been back
 
 But the wheels of fate had started  turn
 And for me there was  way out
 It  very long 'til I knew exactly
 What my Mama  talkin' about
 
 I knew what I  to do and I made myself this solemn vow
  was gonna be a lady someday
  I didn't know when or how
 But  couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life
 With  head hung down in shame
 You  I might have been born just plain white trash
 But Fancy  my name
 
 She  here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
 She said here's your one chance  don't let me down
 
 It wasn't very long  a benevolent man
 Took me in  the streets
 One week later I was  his tea
 In a five  hotel suite [yes she was]
 
  charmed a king, a congressman
 And  occasional aristocrat
 And then I got me  Georgia mansion
 And an elegant New  townhouse flat
 And I ain't gone  [she ain't gone back]
 
 Now in this world there's  lot of self-righteous hypocrites
  call me bad [bad]
 And criticize  for turning me out
  matter how little we had
 
 But though  ain't had to worry 'bout nothin'
 For  on fifteen years
 I can still  the desperation in my poor
 Mama's voice ringin' in my 
 
 Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me 
 here's your one chance Fancy don't let  down
 Lord, forgive me for what  do
  if you want out it's up to you
  let me down, hon
 Mama's gonna move you 
 
 Oh, and I guess  did.
