Bobbie Gentry Fancy lyrics

Send "Bobbie Gentry Fancy" Ringtone to your Cell Well, I remember it all very well lookin` back It was the summer that I turned eighteen. We lived in a one-room, run down shack on the outskirts of New Orleans. We didn`t have money for food or rent to say the least we were hard-pressed when Momma spent every last penny we had to buy me a dancin` dress. Well, Momma washed and combed and curled my hair, then she painted my eyes and lips. Then I stepped into the satin dancin` dress. It was split in the side clean up to my hips. It was red, velvet-trimmed, and it fit me good and starin` back from the lookin` glass was 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. Lord forgive me for what I do, but if you want out girl it`s up to you. Now get on out, you better start sleepin` uptown.` Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck and she kissed my cheek Then I saw the tears welling up in her troubled eyes when she started to speak She looked at our pitiful shack and then she looked at me and took a ragged breath `Your Pa`s runned 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 toe of my high-healed shoe It sounded like somebody else was talkin` askin`, `Momma what do I do?` She said, `Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy. They`ll be nice to you.` 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 get on out, girl, you better start movin` uptown.` Well, that was the last time I saw my momma when I left that rickety shack `Cause the welfare people came and took the baby. Momma died and I ain`t been back. But the wheels of fate had started to turn and for me there was no other way out. It wasn`t very long `till I knew exactly what my momma was talkin` `bout. I knew what I had to do. But I made myself this solemn vow: That I was gonna to be a lady someday though I didn`t know when or how. I couldn`t see spendin` the rest of my life with my head hung down in shame. I mighta 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. Wasn`t long after that a benevolent man took me in off the streets One week later I was pourin` his tea in a five roomed penthouse suite. Since then I`ve charmed a king, a congressman and an occasional aristocrat and I got me a Georgia mansion and an elegant New York townhouse flat. Now I ain`t done bad Now in this world there`s a lot of self-righteous hypocrites that would call me bad. They criticize Momma for turning me out No matter how little we had. And though I haven`t had to worry `bout nothin` now for nigh on fifteen years I can still hear the desperation in my poor mommas voice ringin` in my ears. `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 get on out, you better move uptown. And I guess she did` Send "Bobbie Gentry Fancy" Ringtone to your Cell Bobbie Gentry Fancy lyrics @ Burbler Lyrics | Bobbie Gentry Fancy lyrics @ ELyrics | Bobbie Gentry Fancy lyrics @ Kovideo | Gentry Bobbie Lyrics and Video @ MusicBabylon | Bobbie Gentry Fancy lyrics @ Songlyrics | Bobbie Gentry Fancy lyrics @ ELyricsWorld
