🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Fancy - Reba McEntire

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