🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Fancy - Reba McEntire

  remember it all very well lookin' back
 It was the summer I  eighteen
 We  in a one room, rundown shack
 On  outskirts of New Orleans
 We didn't have money for food  rent
 To say the  we were hard pressed
 Then Mama spent every last penny we 
 To  me a dancin' dress
 
 Mama washed and combed and  my hair
 And she painted my  and lips
 Then I  into a satin dancin' dress that had a split from the side clean up to my hips
 It was  velvet trimmin' and it fit me good
  back from the lookin' glass
 There stood a woman where a half grown kid  stood
 
 She said here's  one chance Fancy don't let me down
 She said here's  one chance Fancy don't let me down
 
  dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck
 Then  kissed my cheek
 And  I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes
 as she  to speak
 She  at our pitiful shack
 And  she looked at me and took a ragged breath
 She said your  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 be 
 And I shivered as I watched  roach crawl across
 The  of my high heel shoe
 It sounded like somebody else that  talkin'
 Askin' Mama  do I do
  said just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy
 They'll be nice to 
 
  said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
 She  here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down
 Lord  me for what I do, but if you want out
 it's up  you
 don't let me down now your Mama's gonna move you 
 
  was the last time I saw my Mama
 The night I left that  shack
 The welfare people came and took  baby
 Mama  and I ain't been back
 
 But the wheels  fate had started to turn
  for me there was no way out
 It wasn't very long  I knew exactly
 What my Mama been  about
 
 I knew what I had to do and  made myself this solemn vow
 I was gonna be  lady someday
 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  white trash
 But Fancy was  name
 
 She said here's your one  Fancy don't let me down
 She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let  down
 
  wasn't very long after a benevolent man
 Took  in off the streets
 One week later I was  his tea
 In  five room hotel suite [yes she was]
 
 I  a king, a congressman
  an occasional aristocrat
 And then I got me a Georgia 
  an elegant New York townhouse flat
 And I ain't gone back  ain't gone back]
 
  in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrites
 That'd call me  [bad]
  criticize Mama for turning me out
 No  how little we had
 
 But though I ain't had  worry 'bout nothin'
  nigh on fifteen years
 I can still hear the desperation  my poor
 Mama's  ringin' in my ear
 
 Here's your  chance Fancy don't let me down
 here's your one chance Fancy don't let me 
 Lord, forgive me for what  do
 But  you want out it's up to you
 don't let  down, hon
 Mama's gonna  you uptown
 
 Oh, and  guess she did.
