Luyện nghe bài hát Fancy

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

We didn't have money for or rent
To say the we were hard-pressed
When spent every last penny we had
To buy me a dancin'

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

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

"Here's one chance, Fancy, don't let me down
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 don't let me down, your gonna help you move uptown"

dabbed a little bit of perfume
On my neck and she kissed my
Then I saw the tears up
In her troubled when she started to speak

She at our pitiful shack and then
She looked at me and took a breath
" Pa's runned off and I'm real sick
And the baby's starve to death"

She handed me a locket that said
"To thine own be true"
And I shivered as I watched a roach across
The toe of my high-healed

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

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

that was the last time I saw my momma
Then I left that rickety
Cause the people came and took the baby
died and I ain't been back

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

I knew I had to do
But I made myself a vow
But I was gonna to be a lady
Though I know when or how

I couldn't see spendin' the of my life
my head hung down in shame
I mighta been just plain white trash
But was my name

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

It wasn't long that a benevolent man
me in off the streets
One later I was pourin' his tea
In a five hotel suite

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

Now in this world a lot of self-righteous
Hypocrites would call me bad
They criticize ma for turning me out
No how little we had

And though I haven't had to worry 'bout
Now for nigh on years
But I can still the desperation
In my mommas voice ringin' in my ears

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