[00:00:10] I remember it all very well lookin' back

[00:00:12] It was the summer I turned eighteen

[00:00:15] We lived in a one room rundown shack

[00:00:17] On the outskirts of New Orleans

[00:00:20] We didn't have money for food or rent

[00:00:23] To say the least we were hard pressed

[00:00:25] Then Mama spent every last penny we had

[00:00:27] To buy me a dancin' dress

[00:00:30] Mama washed and combed and curled my hair

[00:00:33] And she painted my eyes and lips then I stepped into a satin

[00:00:35] Dancin' dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip

[00:00:40] It was red velvet trim and it fit me good

[00:00:45] Standin' back from the lookin' glass

[00:00:47] There stood a woman where a half gown kid had stood

[00:00:50] She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:00:55] Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:01:00] Mama dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck

[00:01:06] And she kissed my cheek

[00:01:08] Then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes

[00:01:10] When she started to speak

[00:01:13] She looked at a pitiful shack

[00:01:15] And then she looked at me and took a ragged breath

[00:01:17] She said your Pa's run off and I'm real sick

[00:01:20] And the baby's gonna starve to death

[00:01:23] She handed me a heart shaped locket that said

[00:01:25] To thine own self be true

[00:01:27] And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across

[00:01:30] The toe of my high heel shoe

[00:01:33] It sounded like somebody else that was talkin'

[00:01:35] Askin' Mama what do I do

[00:01:37] She said just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy

[00:01:40] And they'll be nice to you

[00:01:42] She said here's your chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:01:47] Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:01:52] Lord forgive me for what I do but if you want out

[00:01:56] Well it's up to you

[00:01:58] Now don't let me down you better start movin' uptown

[00:02:05] Well that was the last time I saw my Ma

[00:02:07] The night I left that rickety shack

[00:02:10] The welfare people came and took the baby

[00:02:13] Mama died and I ain't been back

[00:02:15] But the wheels of fate had started to turn

[00:02:18] And for me there was no way out

[00:02:20] And it wasn't very long 'til I knew exactly

[00:02:22] What my Mama's been talkin' about

[00:02:25] I knew what I had to do but I made myself this solemn vow

[00:02:30] That I's gonna be a lady someday

[00:02:32] Though I don't know when or how

[00:02:35] I couldn't see spending the rest of my life

[00:02:38] With my head hung down in shame you know

[00:02:41] I might have been born just plain white trash

[00:02:43] But Fancy was my name

[00:02:45] Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:02:50] Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:02:58] It wasn't very long after a benevolent man

[00:03:01] Took me off the street

[00:03:03] And one week later I was pourin' his tea

[00:03:06] In a five room hotel suite

[00:03:08] I charmed a king a congressman

[00:03:10] And an occasional aristocrat

[00:03:12] Then I got me a Georgia mansion

[00:03:15] In an elegant New York townhouse flat

[00:03:18] And I ain't done bad

[00:03:28] Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrite

[00:03:30] That would call me bad

[00:03:33] And criticize Mama for turning me out

[00:03:35] No matter how little we had

[00:03:38] But though I ain't had to worry 'bout nothin'

[00:03:40] For nigh on fifteen years

[00:03:43] I can still hear the desperation in my poor

[00:03:45] Mama's voice ringin' in my ear

[00:03:48] She said here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:03:53] Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down

[00:03:57] Lord forgive me for what I do

[00:04:00] But if you want out well it's up to you

[00:04:03] Now don't let me down

[00:04:04] Your Mama's gonna help you uptown

[00:04:10] I guess she did
