Текст (слова) песни: Lynn Anderson - Fancy

(Bobbie Gentry)

I remember it all very well lookin` back
It was the summer I turned eighteen
We lived in a oneroom 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 satin dancin` dress.

Mama washed and combed and curled my hair
And she painted my eyes and lips
Then I stepped into my satin dancin` dress
That had a split on the side clean up to my hips.

It was red velvet trim and it fit me good
And starin` back from the lookin` glass
There stood a woman
Where a half grown kid had stood.

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 pityful shack and then she looked at me
And took a ragged breath
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 ownself be true
And I shivered as I watched a rouch crawl
Across the toe of my high heeled shoe.

It sounded like somebody else that was talkin`
Askin` mama what do I do
Just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy
And they`ll be nice to you.

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
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 till I knew
Exactly what my mama`d been talkin` about.

I knew what I had to do
But I made myself this solemn vow
That I was gonna 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 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 off the street
And one week later I was pourin` his tea
In a five room motel 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...
