[00:00.00]90听音乐网 www.90T8.com[00:10.22]Well I remember it all very well lookin' back
[00:12.55]It was the summer that I turned eighteen
[00:15.29]We lived in a one-room run down shack
[00:17.74]On the outskirts of New Orleans
[00:20.22]We didn't have money for food or rent
[00:22.53]To say the least we was hard-pressed
[00:25.31]When Momma spent every last penny we had
[00:27.76]To buy me a dancin' dress
[00:30.28]Well Momma washed and combed and curled my hair
[00:32.88]Then she painted my eyes and lips
[00:35.22]Then I stepped into the satin dancin' dress
[00:37.60]It had a split in the side clean up to my hips
[00:41.22]It was red velvet-trimmed and it fit me good
[00:45.45]And standin' back from the lookin' glass
[00:47.07]Was a woman
[00:48.09]Where a half grown kid had stood
[00:50.18]She said Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down
[00:54.97]She said Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down
[01:03.01]Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume
[01:05.47]On my neck and she kissed my cheek
[01:07.88]Then I saw the tears welling up
[01:09.66]In her troubled eyes as she started to speak
[01:12.90]She looked at our pitiful shack and then
[01:15.21]She looked at me and took a ragged breath
[01:17.20]She said Your Pa's runned off and I'm real sick
[01:20.34]And the baby's gonna starve to death
[01:22.85]She handed me a heart-shaped locket that said
[01:24.88]"To thine own self be true"
[01:27.68]And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
[01:30.31]The toe of my high-healed shoe
[01:32.79]It sounded like somebody else was talkin'
[01:34.94]Askin' "Momma what do I do "
[01:36.71]She said "Just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy
[01:40.18]They'll be nice to you "
[01:41.65]She said "Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down
[01:47.27]Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down
[01:52.00]God forgive me for what I do
[01:55.04]But if you want out girl it's up to you
[01:57.52]Now don't let me down
[01:58.93]Now get on out you better start sleepin' uptown "
[02:05.48]That was the last time I saw my momma
[02:07.71]When I left that rickety shack
[02:10.04]The welfare people came and took the baby
[02:12.56]Momma died and I ain't been back
[02:15.02]But the wheels of fate had started to turn
[02:17.45]And for me there was no other way out
[02:20.12]It wasn't very long after that I knew exactly
[02:22.34]What my momma was talkin' about
[02:25.07]I knew what I had to do
[02:27.12]Then I made myself this solemn vow:
[02:30.02]I's gonna to be a lady someday
[02:32.24]Though I didn't know when or how
[02:34.78]But I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life
[02:37.33]With my head hung down in shame
[02:39.86]You know I mighta been born just plain white trash
[02:42.70]But Fancy was my name
[02:44.94]She said "Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down
[02:49.27]She said Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down
[02:57.46]Wasn't long after that a benevolent man
[02:59.93]Took me in off the streets
[03:02.41]One week later I was pourin' his tea
[03:04.88]In a five roomed penthouse suite
[03:07.20]Since then I've charmed a king a congressman
[03:09.54]And an occasional aristocrat
[03:12.00]And I got me an elegant Georgia mansion
[03:14.63]And a New York townhouse flat
[03:16.84]Now I ain't done bad
[03:27.07]Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous
[03:29.46]Hypocrites who call me bad
[03:31.90]They criticize Momma for turning me out
[03:34.37]No matter how little we had
[03:36.81]But I haven't had to worry about nothin'
[03:39.45]Now for nigh on fifteen years
[03:40.92]But I can still hear the desperation
[03:43.84]In my poor mommas voice ringin' in my ears
[03:46.83]"Here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down
[03:51.66]Oh here's your last chance Fancy don't let me down
[03:56.39]God forgive me for what I do
