Текст песни Reba Mcentire - Fancy

Reba Mcentire - Fancy слова песни




I remember it all very well lookin` backIt was the summer I turned eighteenWe lived in a one room, rundown shackOn the outskirts of New OrleansWe didn`t have money for food or rentTo say the least we were hard pressedThen Mama spent every last penny we hadTo buy me a dancin` dressMama washed and combed and curled my hairAnd she painted my eyes and lips then I stepped intoa satin`dancin` dress that had a split on the side clean upto my hipIt was red velvet trim and it fit me goodStandin` back from the lookin` glassThere stood a woman where a half grown kidhad stoodShe said here`s your one chance Fancy don`t letme downHere`s your one chance Fancy don`t let me downMama dabbled a little bit of perfume on my neckAnd she kissed my cheekThen I saw the tears wellin` up in her troubled eysWhen she started to speakShe looked at a pitiful shackAnd then she looked at me and took a raggedbreathShe said your Pa`s run off and I`m real sickAnd the baby`s gonna starve to deathShe handed me a heart shaped locket that saidTo thine own self be trueAnd I shivered as I watched a roach crawl accrossThe toe of my high heeled shoeIt sounded like somebody else that was talkin`Askin` Mama what do I doShe said be nice to the gentlemen FancyAnd they`ll be nice to youShe said here`s your one chance Fancy don`t let me downHere`s your one chance Fancy don`t let me downLord forgive me for what I do,but if you want outWell it`s up to youNow don`t let me down you better startmovin` uptownWell, that was the last time I saw my MaThe night I left that rickety shackThe welfare people came and took the babyMama died and I ain`t been backBut the wheels of fate had started to turnAnd for me there was no way outAnd it wasn`t very long `til I knew exactlyWhat my Mama`d been talkin` aboutI knew what I had to do but I made myself thissolemn vowThat I`s gonna be a lady somedayThough I didn`t know when or howI couldn`t see spending the rest of my lifeWith my head hung down in shame you knowI might have been born just plain white trashBut Fancy was my nameHere`s your one chance Fancy don`t let me downHere`s your one chance Fancy don`t let me downIt wasn`t long after that benevolent manTook me off the streetAnd one week later I was pourin` his teaIn a five room hotel suiteI charmed a king, congressmanAnd an occasional aristocratThen I got me a Georgia mansionIn an elegant New York townhouse flatAnd I ain`t done badNow in this world there`s a lot of self-righteoushippocratesThat would call me badAnd criticize Mama for turning me outNo matter how little we hadBut though I ain`t had to worry `bout nothin`For nigh on fifteen yearsI can still hear the desperation in my poorMama`s voice ringin` in my earShe said, here`s your one chance Fancy don`t let me downHere`s your one chance Fancy don`t let me downLord, forgive me for what I doBut if you want out well it`s up to youNow don`t let me downYou Mama`s gonna help you uptownI guess she did
