[04:26.84][00:13.03][00:00.95]
[00:20.25]I remember it all very well lookin' back
[00:23.10]It was the summer that I turned eighteen.
[00:24.84]We lived in a one-room, run down shack
[00:27.59]on the outskirts of New Orleans.
[00:29.27]
[00:29.68]We didn't have money for food or rent
[00:31.90]to say the least we were hard-pressed
[00:34.11]when Momma spent every last penny we had
[00:36.39]to buy me a dancin' dress.
[00:38.45]
[00:38.63]Momma washed and combed and curled my hair,
[00:40.94]then she painted my eyes and lips.
[00:43.15]And I stepped into the satin dancin' dress.
[00:45.37]It had a split in the side clean up to my hips.
[00:47.74]
[00:47.93]It was red, velvet-trimmed,
[00:50.65]to fit me good
[00:52.63]and standin' back from the lookin' glass
[00:54.46]was a woman
[00:54.96]where a half grown kid had stood.
[00:56.71]
[00:56.96]"Here's your one chance,
[00:58.93]Fancy, don't let me down!
[01:01.60]Here's your one chance,
[01:03.16]Fancy, don't let me down.
[01:05.23]
[01:06.07]Lord forgive me for what I do,
[01:08.41]But if you want out then it's up to you
[01:10.87]Don’t let me down
[01:12.01]your momma’s gonna help you move uptown."
[01:14.16]
[01:17.90]Momma dabbed a bit of perfume
[01:19.65]on my neck and she kissed my cheek
[01:21.83]And I saw the tears well up
[01:23.92]in her troubled eyes when she started to speak
[01:26.61]
[01:26.86]She looked at our pitiful shack and then
[01:28.91]she looked at me and took a ragged breath
[01:31.40]Your Pa's run off, and I'm real sick
[01:33.65]and the baby's gonna starve to death.
[01:35.65]
[01:36.02]She handed me a heart-shaped locket that said
[01:38.27]"To thine own self be true"
[01:40.39]and I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
[01:42.57]the toe of my high-heal shoe
[01:44.54]
[01:44.88]It sounded like somebody else who was talkin'
[01:47.20]askin', "Momma what do I do?"
[01:49.22]Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy.
[01:51.60]And they'll be nice to you."
[01:53.74]
[01:54.01]"Here's your one chance, Fancy,
[01:55.87]don't let me down!
[01:58.09]Here's your one chance, Fancy,
[02:00.49]don't let me down.
[02:02.21]
[02:02.99]Lord forgive me for what I do,
[02:05.21]But if you want out then it's up to you
[02:07.70]Don't let me down,
[02:08.79]Your momma’s gonna help you move uptown."
[02:11.10]
[02:14.84]Well that was the last time I saw my momma
[02:16.94]The night I left that rickety shack
[02:18.91]Cos welfare people came and took the baby.
[02:21.53]Momma died and I ain't been back.
[02:23.50]
[02:23.78]But the wheels of fate had started to turn
[02:26.18]and for me there was no other way out.
[02:27.99]And it wasn't very long till I knew exactly
[02:30.51]what my ma had been talkin' 'bout.
[02:32.51]
[02:32.76]I did what I had to do.
[02:34.73]But I made myself a solemn vow:
[02:37.44]That I was gonna to be a lady someday
[02:39.50]though I don't know when or how.
[02:41.43]
[02:41.66]I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life
[02:44.06]with my head hung down in shame.
[02:46.18]I might have been born just plain white trash.
[02:48.68]but Fancy was my name.
[02:50.58]
[02:50.80]"Here's your one chance, Fancy,
[02:52.70]don't let me down!
[02:55.27]Here's your one chance, Fancy,
[02:57.23]don't let me down.
[02:58.97]
[03:02.94]It wasn't very long a benevolent man
[03:04.37]took me in off the street
[03:06.81]And one week later I was pourin' his tea
[03:09.06]in a five roomed hotel suite.
[03:10.77]
[03:11.02]Well I've charmed a king, a congressman
[03:13.30]and an occasional aristocrat
[03:15.26]and I’ve got me a Georgia mansion
[03:17.36]and an elegant New York townhouse flat.
[03:34.09][03:19.69]
[03:37.96]Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous
[03:40.09]hypocrites who call me bad.
[03:42.00]And criticize Momma for turning me out
[03:44.49]No matter how little we had.
[03:46.49]
[03:46.65]And though I hadn’t had to worry about nothin'
[03:49.02]For nigh on fifteen years
[03:51.02]I can still hear the desperation
[03:53.02]in my poor mommas voice ringin' in my ears.
[03:55.48]
[03:55.67]"Here's your one chance,
[03:57.20]Fancy, don't let me down!
[04:00.10]Here's your one chance,
[04:01.69]Fancy, don't let me down.
[04:04.49]Lord forgive me for what I do,
[04:06.77]But if you want out then it's up to you
[04:09.33]Don't let me down,
[04:10.39]Your momma’s gonna help you move uptown."
