🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Fancy - Reba McEntire

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