Luyện nghe bài hát Fancy

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

Mama and combed and curled my hair
And she painted my eyes and lips I stepped into a satin
dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip
It was red velvet trim and it fit me
Standin' back from the lookin'
There stood a where a half gown kid had stood

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

Mama dabbed a bit of perfume on my neck
And she my cheek
Then I saw the tears 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 run off and I'm real sick
And the baby's gonna to death

She handed me a heart locket that said
"To own self be true"
And I shivered as I watched a roach across
The toe of my high shoe
It like somebody else that was talkin'
Askin' what do I do
She said just be nice to the Fancy
And they'll be to you

She here's your chance Fancy don't let me down
Here's your one Fancy 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 down you better start movin'

Well, that was the last I saw my Ma
The I left that rickety shack
The welfare people came and the baby
Mama died and I been 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 what I had to do but I made myself this solemn vow
I's gonna be a lady someday
Though I don't know 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
Here's one chance Fancy don't let me down

It wasn't very long a benevolent man
Took me off the
And one week I was pourin' his tea
In a five hotel suite

I a king, a congressman
And an occasional
Then I got me a Georgia
In an New York townhouse flat
And I done bad

Now in this world there's a lot of hypocrite
That call me bad
And Mama for turning me out
No how little we had

But though I ain't had to worry 'bout
For nigh on years
I can still the desperation in my poor
Mama's ringin' in my ear

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

I she did
