Luyện nghe bài hát Fancy

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

Mama washed and combed and my hair
And she painted my eyes and lips then I stepped a satin
dress 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 stood a 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 don't let me

Mama a little bit of perfume on my neck
And she my cheek
Then I saw the wellin' up in her troubled eyes
she started to speak
She looked at a pitiful
And she looked at me and took a ragged breath
She said your Pa's run off and I'm real
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 somebody else that was
Askin' what do I do
She said just be nice to the gentlemen
And they'll be to you

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

Well, that was the last I saw my Ma
The night I left that shack
The welfare came and took the baby
Mama died and I ain't back

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

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

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

It wasn't long after a benevolent man
me off the street
And one week I was pourin' his tea
In a five room hotel

I a king, a congressman
And an aristocrat
I got me a Georgia mansion
In an elegant New townhouse flat
And I ain't bad

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

But though I ain't had to 'bout nothin'
For nigh on years
I can still hear the desperation in my
Mama's voice in my ear

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

I she did
