Send "Fancy" Ringtone to your Cell Artist: Reba Mcentire Album: Rumor Has It Title: Fancy (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 on the side clean up to my hip It was red velvet trim and it fit me good Standin` back from the lookin` glass There stood a woman where a half gown 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 When she started to speak She looked at a pitiful shack And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath She said your pa`s run 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 you better start movin` 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 very long `til i knew exactly What my mama`s been talkin` about I knew what i had to do but i made myself this solemn vow That i`s gonna be a lady someday Though i don`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 very long after a benevolent man Took me 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 ear 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 help you uptown I guess she did Send " " Ringtone to your Cell Fancy lyrics @ Burbler Lyrics | Fancy lyrics @ ELyrics | Fancy lyrics @ Kovideo | Lyrics and Video @ MusicBabylon | Fancy lyrics @ Songlyrics | Fancy lyrics @ ELyricsWorld
