🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Fancy - Reba McEntire

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