_ I remember it all very well, looking back was the summer I turned 18.
We lived in a one-room worn-out shack on the outskirts of New Orleans.
_ _ We didn't have money for food or rent, to say the least we was hard-pressed.
[C#] And Mama spent every last penny she [F#] had to buy me a dance dress.
Mama washed and combed and curled my hair and she painted my [F#m] eyes and lips.
I stepped into a satin dancing dress that had a slit in the side clean up to my [F#] hips.
It was red _ _ _ _ _ velvet trimming and it fit me good.
Staring back from the looking glass there stood a woman where a half-grown boy [F#] had stood. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
[D] Here's your one chance fancy don't let me [F#] down. _ _
[A] Here's your one [B] chance fancy don't [F#] let me down. _
_ _ _ _ _ Mama dabbed a little bit [F#m] of perfume on my neck and she kissed my cheek.
I could see the tears welling up in her troubled eyes as she started to speak.
[C#] She took one look at our shack and she looked at me and took a ragged breath.
She said your paw's run off and I'm real [D] sick and the baby's gonna starve to death.
[C#] She handed me a heart-shaped locket [E] that said to thine own self be true.
[D#] And I shivered as I watched a roach crawl [D] across the toe of my high-heeled shoe.
[F#] It sounded like somebody else that was [A#] talking asking Mama what do [D#m] I do?
[B] She said just be nice to the gentlemen fancy [C#] they'll be nice to you.
_ [D] Here's your one [E] chance fancy don't let [C#] me down.
_ _ [A] Here's your one [B] chance fancy don't [F#] let me down.
Lord [A] forgive me for what I do [D] but if you want now well it's up to you.
Don't let me down now your [C#] mama's gonna [F#] move you uptown. _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ That was the last time I saw my [E] mom the night I left that rickety shack.
[D#m] The welfare people came and took the baby [D] mama died and I ain't living that.
[F#] But the wheels of fate started to [B] turn and for me there was no way out.
[D#m] It wasn't very long till I knew just [D] exactly what my mom had been talking about.
[F#] I knew what I had to do so I [E] made myself this solemn vow.
[D#m] Said I was gonna be a lady someday [D] though it didn't matter when or how.
[F#] Couldn't see spending the rest of my life [A#m] with my head held down [D#] in shame.
You [B] know I might have been born just plain white trash [C#] but fancy was my name.
[D] Here's your one [E] chance fancy don't let [C#] me down. _
_ [A] Here's your one chance fancy don't [F#] let me down. _
_ _ _ _ _ Wasn't very long that the Netherlands [B] man took me in off the [F#] street.
One week later I was serving his [B] tea in a five room hotel [F#] suite.
I charmed a king, a congressman and the occasional aristocrat.
I got me a Georgia mansion and an elegant New York townhouse flat.
Ain't done that. _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [C#] Now in this life there's a lot of self-righteous [B] hypocrites that call me [F#] bad.
Criticize mama for turning me out [B] no matter how little [F#] we had.
No I ain't had to worry about nothing for [A#] now I'm [D#m] fifty years.
[B] I can still hear the desperation in my [C#m] poor mama's voice ringing in my ears.
[D] Here's your one [B] chance fancy don't let [C#] me down.
_ _ [A] Here's your one [B] chance fancy don't let me down.
[F#] _ Lord [A] forgive me for what [B] I do.
[D] But if you want out well [E] it's up to you.
[D] Don't let me down now [C#] your mama's gonna move you.
