Luyện nghe bài hát Fancy

I remember it all very well lookin'
It was the I turned eighteen
We lived in a one room, shack
On the of New Orleans
We have money for food or rent
To say the we were hard pressed
Mama spent every last penny we had
To buy me a dancin'

Mama washed and and curled my hair
And she painted my eyes and lips then I stepped into a
Dancin' 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 woman where a half gown kid had

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

Mama a little bit of perfume on my neck
And she kissed my
Then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled
When she to speak
She looked at a pitiful
And then she at me and took a ragged breath
She your Pa's run off and I'm real sick
And the baby's starve to death

She handed me a heart shaped locket that
"To thine own be true"
And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl
The toe of my heel shoe
It sounded like somebody else that was
Askin' Mama do I do
She said be nice to the gentlemen Fancy
And they'll be to you

She said here's your chance 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 let me down you better start movin' uptown

Well, was the last time I saw my Ma
The night I that rickety shack
The welfare people and took the baby
died and I ain't been back

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

I knew I had to do but I made myself this solemn vow
That I's be a lady someday
Though I don't know or how
I see spending the rest of my life
With my head down in shame you know
I might have been born just white trash
But Fancy was my

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

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

I charmed a king, a
And an occasional
Then I got me a mansion
In an New York townhouse flat
And I ain't bad

Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous
That call me bad
And criticize Mama for me out
No matter how we had

But though I had to worry 'bout nothin'
For on fifteen years
I can still the desperation in my poor
voice ringin' in my ear

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

I she did
