Reba McEntire - Fancy (Official Audio)

Fancy was my niece's favorite song, thank you Reba for singing that aong. Sadly we lost her November 19 2020 sue to cancer at only 38 years of age. Her husband's and kids wished to have it played during her funeral service. Now when I listen to Fancy sung by Reba McEntire I will lovingly think of my niece Candice (Candy as we call her). Fly with the angels Candy, we love you.

The line, "I might have been born just plain white trash, but Fancy was my name" has to be among the best written lyrics of the past half century or more. Even more, Reba's delivery of the line is GOAT level.

[@danightcore4438]

I remember it all very well lookin' back It was the summer 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 were hard-pressed Then Mama spent every last penny we had To buy me a dancin' dress Mama washed and combed and curled my hair And she painted my eyes and lips Then I stepped into a satin dancin' dress That had a split on the side clean up to my hip It was red velvet trim and it fit me good Standin' back from the lookin' glass There stood a woman where a half-grown kid had stood She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down. Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down." Mama dabbled a little bit of perfume on my neck then she kissed my cheek And then I saw the tears wellin' up in her troubled eyes as 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's runned 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 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 that was talkin' Askin', "Mama, what do I do?" She said, "Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy, And they'll be nice to you." She said, "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 Now your mama's gonna move you 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 'til I knew exactly What my Mama'd been talkin' about I knew what I had to do and I made myself this solemn vow That I's gonna be a lady someday Though I didn't know when or how But I couldn'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 She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down." She said, "Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down." It wasn't long after that benevolent man took me in off the street And one week later I was pourin' his tea in a five-room hotel suite I charmed a king, a congressman and an occasional aristocrat And then I got me a Georgia mansion and an elegant New York townhouse flat And I ain't done bad Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous hypocrites That would call me bad They criticize Mama for turning me out No matter how little we had But though I ain't had to worry 'bout nothin' for nigh on fifteen years Well, I can still hear the desperation in my poor Mama's voice ringin' in my ears "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 Now your Mama's gonna move you uptown." Well, I guess she did

This is Bobby Lee Gentry's song. She also wrote Ode to Billy Joe and other country ballads. It is extremely sad. Bobby disappeared entirely from public view in 1982. Nobody, not even Reba knows her.

The country song was a crossover pop music hit for Gentry, reaching the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 (her second and final solo single to do so) and the top 30 of the Billboard country chart. This song was recorded at Fame Studios- Muscle Shoals with Producer Rick Hall.
