#1.
E
Well, I remember it all very well lookin' back..
D
it was the summer that I turned eighteen.
A
We lived in a one-room, run down shack on the
C
outskirts of New Orleans.
E
We didn't have money for food or rent..to say
D
the least we was hard-pressed..
A C
when momma spent every last penny we had to buy
me a dancin' dress.
#2.
E
Momma washed and combed and curled my hair..
A G
then she painted my eyes and lips.
E
Then I stepped into the satin dancin' dress..it had
A E
a split in the side, clean up to my hip.
E A G
It was red, velvet-trimmed and it fit me good.
E
And standin' back from the lookin' glass was a woman
A E
where a half-growed kid had stood.
CHORUS:
Am D Em
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
G A Em
Here's your one chance, Fancy, don't let me down.
G A Am7
Lord, forgive me for what I do, but if you want out,
D
well, it's up to you.
C B E
Now, don't let me down, your momma's gonna you move uptown.
#3.
E
Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume on my neck and she
D
kissed my cheek.
A
Then I saw the tears welling up in her troubled eyes as
C
she started to speak.
E
She looked at our pitiful shack and then she looked at me
D A
and took a ragged breath..she said, your Pa's runned off
