🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Fancy - Reba McEntire

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