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 hard pressed
Mama spent every last penny we had
To buy me a dress

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

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

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

She handed me a heart locket that said
"To thine own be true"
And I shivered as I a roach crawl across
The toe of my high shoe
It sounded like somebody else that was
Askin' what do I do
She just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy
And be nice to you

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

Well, that was the last I saw my Ma
The I left that rickety shack
The welfare people came and took the
Mama died and I ain't been

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

I knew what I had to do but I made myself this vow
That I's be a lady someday
Though I know when or how
I couldn't see spending the of my life
With my head hung in shame you know
I might been born just plain white trash
But was my name

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

It wasn't very after a benevolent man
me off the street
And one week later I was his tea
In a five hotel suite

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

Now in world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrite
would call me bad
And criticize Mama for me out
No matter how we had

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

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

I she did
