🎵 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 or 
 To say the  we were hard pressed
 Then Mama spent  last penny we had
 To  me a dancin' dress
 
  washed and combed and curled my hair
 And she  my eyes and lips
 Then I stepped into a satin dancin' dress that had a split from the  clean up to my hips
 It was red velvet trimmin' and it fit me 
 Standin' back from the  glass
  stood a woman where a half grown kid had stood
 
 She said here's  one chance Fancy don't let me down
 She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me 
 
  dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck
  she kissed my cheek
 And then I saw the tears wellin'  in her troubled eyes
 as she started  speak
  looked at our pitiful shack
 And then she looked at me and took a  breath
 She said your Pa's  off, I'm real sick
 And the baby's gonna starve  death
 
  handed me a heart shaped locket that said
 "To thine own  be true"
 And I shivered as I watched  roach crawl across
 The toe of my high  shoe
 It sounded like somebody else that  talkin'
 Askin' Mama  do I do
 She said just be nice to the gentlemen 
 They'll  nice to you
 
 She said  your one chance Fancy don't let me down
 She said here's your one  Fancy don't let me down
 Lord forgive  for what I do, but if you want out
 it's up to 
 don't let me down now your Mama's gonna move  uptown.
 
 That was the last time  saw my Mama
 The night I left  rickety shack
 The  people came and took the baby
 Mama died and  ain't been back
 
 But the wheels of fate had started  turn
 And for me  was no way out
 It wasn't very  'til I knew exactly
 What my Mama been  about
 
 I knew what  had to do and I made myself this solemn vow
 I was gonna be a lady 
 Though I didn't know  or how
 But I couldn't see spendin' the  of my life
 With my head hung  in shame
 You know I might have been born just plain  trash
  Fancy was my name
 
 She said here's  one chance Fancy don't let me down
 She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let  down
 
 It wasn't very long after a  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  aristocrat
 And then I got me a Georgia 
 And an elegant New York  flat
 And I ain't gone back [she ain't  back]
 
 Now in this world there's  lot of self-righteous hypocrites
 That'd call  bad [bad]
 And criticize  for turning me out
 No matter how  we had
 
 But though I ain't had to worry 'bout 
 For nigh on fifteen 
 I can still hear  desperation in my poor
 Mama's voice ringin'  my ear
 
 Here's  one chance Fancy don't 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 up to 
  let me down, hon
 Mama's  move you uptown
 
  and I guess she did.
