Luyện nghe bài hát Fancy

I it all very well lookin' back
It was the that I turned eighteen
We lived in a one-room, run down
On the outskirts of New

We didn't have money for food or
To say the least we were
When momma spent every penny we had
To buy me a dancin'

Momma washed and combed and curled my
Then she painted my and lips
And then I stepped into the dancin' dress
It was split in the side, up to my hips

It was red, velvet-trimmed and it fit me
And back from the lookin' glass
Was a
Where a half grown kid had

"Here's your one chance, Fancy, let me down
Here's one chance, Fancy, don't let me down
Lord me for what I do
But if you out, well, it's up to you
Now don't let me down, your momma's gonna help you uptown"

dabbed a little bit of perfume
On my and she kissed my cheek
Then I saw the welling up
In her troubled eyes when she started to

She looked at our pitiful and then
She looked at me and took a ragged
" Your Pa's runned 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 shoe

It like somebody else it was talkin'
Askin', "Momma do I do?"
"Just be to the gentlemen, Fancy, and
be nice to you"

"Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me
Here's one chance, Fancy, don't let me down
forgive me for what I do
But if you out, well, it's up to you
Now get on now, girl, you start movin' uptown"

Well that was the time I saw my momma
I left that rickety shack
Cause the welfare people and took the baby
Momma died and I been back

But the wheels of fate had started to
And for me was no way out
It wasn't very after that I knew exactly
my momma been talkin' about

I knew I had to do
But I made a solemn vow
But I was to be a lady someday
Though I didn't know or how

I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my
With my hung down in shame
I mighta been born plain white trash
But was my name

"Here's one chance, Fancy, don't let me down
Here's one chance, Fancy, don't let me down"

It wasn't long that a benevolent man
Took me in off the
One week later I was his tea
In a roomed hotel suite

I've charmed a king, a
And an occasional
And it got me a Georgia
And an elegant New townhouse flat
And I done bad

Now in this world there's a lot of
Hypocrites that call me bad
criticize ma momma for turning me out
No how little we had

And though I had to worry 'bout nothin'
Now for nigh on fifteen
But I can hear the desperation
In my poor voice ringin' in my ears

"Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me
your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down
Lord forgive me for I do
But if you want out, well, up to you
Now let me down, your momma's gonna help you move uptown"
And I she did
