🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Fancy - Reba McEntire

 I remember it  very well lookin' back
  was the summer I turned eighteen
 We  in a one room, rundown shack
  the outskirts of New Orleans
 We didn't have money for food or 
 To say  least we were hard pressed
 Then Mama spent every last penny we 
 To buy me a  dress
 
 Mama washed and combed and  my hair
 And she painted my eyes and 
 Then I stepped into a satin dancin' dress that had a  from the side clean up to my hips
 It was red velvet trimmin' and  fit me good
 Standin' back from the  glass
 There stood a woman  a half grown kid had stood
 
 She said here's your one  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 my 
 Then  kissed my cheek
 And then  saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes
 as she  to speak
 She  at our pitiful shack
 And then  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 self  true"
 And I shivered as I watched a  crawl across
  toe of my high heel shoe
 It  like somebody else that was talkin'
 Askin' Mama what  I do
 She said just  nice to the gentlemen Fancy
 They'll be nice to 
 
 She  here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
 She said here's your one  Fancy don't let me down
 Lord forgive me for  I do, but if you want out
 it's up  you
 don't let me down  your Mama's gonna move you uptown.
 
 That was the last time I saw my 
  night I left that rickety shack
 The welfare people came and took  baby
 Mama died and I  been back
 
 But the wheels of  had started to turn
 And  me there was no way out
 It wasn't  long 'til I knew exactly
 What my Mama been  about
 
 I knew what I had to do and I made myself this  vow
 I  gonna be a lady someday
 Though  didn't know when or how
 But I  see spendin' the rest of my life
 With my head hung down in 
  know I might have been born just plain white trash
 But Fancy was  name
 
 She said here's your one chance  don't let me down
 She  here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
 
 It  very long after a benevolent man
  me in off the streets
 One week  I was pourin' his tea
  a five room hotel suite [yes she was]
 
 I  a king, a congressman
  an occasional aristocrat
  then I got me a Georgia mansion
 And an  New York townhouse flat
 And  ain't gone back [she ain't gone back]
 
 Now in this world there's a lot of  hypocrites
 That'd call  bad [bad]
 And criticize  for turning me out
 No  how little we had
 
 But though  ain't had to worry 'bout nothin'
 For  on fifteen years
 I  still hear the desperation in my poor
 Mama's  ringin' in my ear
 
 Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me 
 here's your one chance Fancy don't  me down
 Lord,  me for what I do
 But if you want  it's up to you
 don't  me down, hon
 Mama's  move you uptown
 
 Oh, and I  she did.
