#1 CANADIAN RPM #8 BB ADULT CONTEMPORARY
and #8 COUNTRY on CAPITOL Records in 1970.
INTRO:
#1.
Well I remember it all very well lookin' back..
it was the summer that I turned eighteen.
We lived in a one-room run down shack on the
outskirts of New Orleans.
We didn't have money for food or rent..to say
the least we was hard-pressed..
when momma spent every last penny we had to buy
me a dancin' dress.
#2.
Momma washed and combed and curled my hair..
then she painted my eyes and lips.
Then I stepped into the satin dancin' dress..it had
a split in the side clean up to my hip.
It was red velvet-trimmed and it fit me good.
And standin' back from the lookin' glass was a woman
where a half-growed kid had stood.
CHORUS:
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 momma's gonna you move uptown.
#3.
Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck and she
kissed my cheek.
Then I saw the tears welling up in her troubled eyes as
she started to speak.
She looked at our pitiful shack and then she looked at me
and took a ragged breath..she said your Pa's runned off
and I'm real sick and the baby's gonna starve to death.
#4.
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 toe of
my high-heeled shoe.
It sounded like somebody else was talkin' askin' Momma what
do I do?
She said just be nice to the gentlemen Fancy they'll be nice
to you.
CHORUS:
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.
Get up now girl you best be movin' uptown.
#5.
Well that was the last time I saw my momma when I left that rickety
shack.
The welfare people came and took the baby momma died and I ain't
been back.
But the wheels of fate had started to turn and for me there was
no other way out.
It wasn't very long after that I knew exactly what my momma was
talkin' 'bout.
#6.
I knew what I had to do but I made myself this solemn vow..
that I was gonna to be a lady someday though I didn't know when or how.
But I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life with my head hung
down in shame.
I mighta been born just plain white trash but Fancy was my name.
CHORUS:
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down.
Here's your one chance Fancy don't let me down.
#7.
It wasn't long after that a benevolent man took me in off the streets.
One week later I was pourin' his tea in a five roomed penthouse suite.
I've charmed a king a congressman and an occasional aristocrat.
And I got me a Georgia mansion and a New York townhouse flat..
now I ain't done bad.
#8.
Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrites who call
me bad.
They criticize momma for turning me out no matter how little we had.
But I haven't had to worry 'bout nothin' now for nigh on fifteen years.
But I can still hear the desperation in my poor momma's voice ringin' in
my ears.
CHORUS:
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 momma's gonna help you move uptown.
(And I guess she did.)
