Luyện nghe bài hát Fancy

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

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

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

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

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

Momma a little bit of perfume
On my neck and she kissed my
Then I saw the welling up
In her troubled eyes she started to speak

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

She handed me a heart-shaped locket said
"To own self be true"
And I as I watched a roach crawl 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
your 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 get on now, girl, you start movin' uptown"

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

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

I what I had to do
But I made myself a vow
But I was gonna to be a someday
I didn't know when or how

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

"Here's your one chance, Fancy, let me down
Here's your one chance, Fancy, let me down"

It long after that a benevolent man
Took me in off the
One later I was pourin' his tea
In a five roomed hotel

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

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

And I haven't 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
here's your one chance, Fancy, 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, momma's gonna help you move uptown"
And I she did
