Letra de la canción *

(bobbie gentry)
I remember it all very well lookin&#39; back
it was the summer i turned eighteen
we lived in a one room, rundown shack
on the outskirts of new orleans
we didn&#39;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 dancin&#39; dress
Mama washed and combed and curled my hair
and she painted my eyes and lips then i stepped into a satin
dancin&#39; dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip
it was red velvet trim and it fit me good
standin&#39; back from the lookin&#39; glass
there stood a woman where a half gown kid had stood
She said here&#39;s your one chance fancy don&#39;t let me down
here&#39;s your one chance fancy don&#39;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&#39; up in her troubled eyes
when she started to speak
she looked at a pitiful shack
and then she looked at me and took a ragged breath
she said your pa&#39;s run off and i&#39;m real sick
and the baby&#39;s gonna starve to death
She handed me a heart shaped locket that said
&quot;to thine own self be true&quot;
and i shivered as i watched a roach crawl across
the tow of my high heel shoe
it sounded like somebody else that was talkin&#39;
askin&#39; mama what do i do
she said just be nice to the gentlemen fancy
and they&#39;ll be nice to you
She said here&#39;s your chance fancy don&#39;t let me down
here&#39;s your one chance fancy don&#39;t let me down
lord forgive me for what i do, but if you want out
well it&#39;s up to you
now don&#39;t let me down you better start movin&#39; 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&#39;t been back
But the wheels of fate had started to turn
and for me there was no way out
and it wasn&#39;t very long &#39;til i knew exactly
what my mama&#39;s been talkin&#39; about
I knew what i had to do but i made myself this solemn vow
that i&#39;s gonna be a lady someday
though i don&#39;t know when or how
i couldn&#39;t see spending the rest of my life
with my head hung down in shame you know
i might have been born just plain white trash
but fancy was my name
Here&#39;s your one chance fancy don&#39;t let me down
here&#39;s your one chance fancy don&#39;t let me down
It wasn&#39;t very long after a benevolent man
took me off the street
and one week later i was pourin&#39; his tea
in a five room hotel 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&#39;t done bad
Now in this world there&#39;s a lot of self-righteous hippocrits
that would call me bad
and criticize mama for turning me out
no matter how little we had
But though i ain&#39;t had to worry &#39;bout nothin&#39;
for nigh on fifteen years
i can still hear the desperation in my poor
mama&#39;s voice ringin&#39; in my ear
She said, here&#39;s your one chance fancy don&#39;t let me down
here&#39;s your one chance fancy don&#39;t let me down
lord, forgive me for what i do
but if you want out well it&#39;s up to you
now don&#39;t let me down
your mama&#39;s gonna help you uptown
I guess she did
