🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Fancy - Reba McEntire

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