Luyện nghe bài hát Fancy

I remember it all well lookin' back
It was the I turned eighteen
We in a one room, rundown shack
On the outskirts of New
We didn't have for food or rent
To say the least we were pressed
Then Mama spent every last we had
To buy me a dancin'

Mama washed and combed and curled my
And she painted my eyes and lips then I stepped a satin
Dancin' that had a split on the side clean up to my hip
It was red trim and it fit me good
Standin' back from the glass
There stood a where a half gown kid had stood

She said here's your one chance don't let me down
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me

Mama dabbed a little bit of on my neck
And she kissed my
Then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled
When she to speak
She looked at a pitiful
And then she at me and took a ragged breath
She said your Pa's run off and I'm sick
And the baby's starve to death

She handed me a heart shaped locket said
"To own self be true"
And I shivered as I watched a roach across
The toe of my high heel
It sounded like else that was talkin'
Askin' Mama do I do
She said just be to the gentlemen Fancy
And be nice to you

She here's your chance Fancy don't let me down
Here's your one chance don't let me down
Lord me for what I do, but if you want out
it's up to you
Now don't let me down you better start uptown

Well, that was the last I saw my Ma
The night I left that rickety
The welfare people and took the baby
Mama died and I been back

But the wheels of fate had to turn
And for me was no way out
And it wasn't long 'til I knew exactly
What my Mama's been about

I knew what I had to do but I made this solemn vow
That I's gonna be a lady
I don't know when or how
I couldn't see spending the rest of my
With my head hung down in you know
I have been born just plain white trash
But was my name

Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me
Here's your one chance Fancy let me down

It very long after a benevolent man
Took me off the
And one later I was pourin' his tea
In a five room hotel

I a king, a congressman
And an occasional
Then I got me a Georgia
In an elegant New York townhouse
And I done bad

Now in this world a lot of self-righteous hypocrite
That call me bad
And criticize for turning me out
No matter how we had

But though I ain't had to worry nothin'
For nigh on fifteen
I can still hear the in my poor
Mama's voice in my ear

She said, here's your one chance Fancy don't let me
Here's your one chance don't let me down
Lord, forgive me for I do
But if you want out it's up to you
Now let me down
Your Mama's help you uptown

I she did
