Luyện nghe bài hát Fancy

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

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

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

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

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

She here's your chance Fancy don't let me down
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me
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, that was the last I saw my Ma
The I left that rickety shack
The welfare people came and took the
Mama and I ain't been back

But the wheels of fate had started to
And for me was no way out
And it wasn't long 'til I knew exactly
What my Mama's been talkin'

I knew what I had to do but I made myself solemn vow
I's gonna be a lady someday
Though I don't when or how
I couldn't see spending the rest of my
With my head hung in shame you know
I might been born just plain white trash
But was my name

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

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

I charmed a king, a
And an occasional
Then I got me a mansion
In an elegant New York flat
And I done bad

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

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

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

I she did
