Reba Mcentire - Fancy Şarkı Sözleri

Reba Mcentire | Şarkı Sözleri

    (bobbie gentry)

    i remember it all very well lookin´ back
    it was the summer i turned eighteen
    we lived in a one room, rundown shack
    on the outskirts of new orleans
    we didn´t have money for food or rent
    to say the least we were hard pressed
    then mama spent every last penny we had
    to buy me a dancin´ dress

    mama washed and combed and curled my hair
    and she painted my eyes and lips
    then i stepped into a satin dancin´ dress that had a split from the side clean
    up to my hip
    it was red velvet trimmin´ and it fit me good
    standin´ back from the lookin´ glass
    there stood a woman where a half grown kid had stood

    she said here´s your one chance fancy don´t let me down
    here´s your one chance fancy don´t let me down

    mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck
    and she kissed my cheek
    then i saw the tears wellin´ up in her troubled eyes
    as she started to speak
    she looked at our pitiful shack
    and then she looked at me and took a ragged breath
    she said your pa´s run´d off and i´m real sick
    and the baby´s gonna starve to death

    she handed me a heart shaped locket that said
    "to thine own self be true"
    and i shivered as i watched a roach crawl across
    the tow of my high heel shoe
    it sounded like somebody else that was talkin´
    askin´ mama what do i do
    she said just be nice to the gentlemen fancy
    and they´ll be nice to you

    she said here´s your chance fancy don´t let me down
    here´s your one chance fancy don´t let me down
    lord forgive me for what i do, but if you want out
    well it´s up to you
    now don´t let me down your mama´s gonna move you uptown.

    well, that was the last time i saw my ma
    the night i left that rickety shack
    the welfare people came and took the baby
    mama died and i ain´t been back

    but the wheels of fate had started to turn
    and for me there was no way out
    and it wasn´t long ´til i knew exactly
    what my mama´d been talkin´ about

    i knew what i had to do and i made myself this solemn vow
    that i´s gonna be a lady someday
    though i didn´t know when or how
    i couldn´t see spending the rest of my life
    with my head hung down in shame you know
    i might have been born just plain white trash
    but fancy was my name

    here´s your one chance fancy don´t let me down
    here´s your one chance fancy don´t let me down

    it wasn´t long after a benevolent man
    took me in off the street
    and one week later i was pourin´ his tea
    in a five room hotel suite

    i charmed a king, a congressman
    and an occasional aristocrat
    then i got me a georgia mansion
    in an elegant new york townhouse flat
    and i ain´t done bad

    now in this world there´s a lot of self-righteous hippocrits
    that would call me bad
    and criticize mama for turning me out
    no matter how little we had

    but though i ain´t had to worry ´bout nothin´
    for nigh on fifteen years
    i can still hear the desperation in my poor
    mama´s voice ringin´ in my ears

    she said, here´s your one chance fancy don´t let me down
    here´s your one chance fancy don´t let me down
    lord, forgive me for what i do
    but if you want out well it´s up to you
    now don´t let me down
    your mama´s gonna move you uptown

    oh, and i guess she did.
