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 were hard-pressed when Momma spent every last penny we had to buy me a dancin' dress. Well, Momma washed and combed and curled my hair, then she painted my eyes and lips. Then I stepped into the satin dancin' dress. It was split in the side clean up to my hips. It was red, velvet-trimmed, and it fit me good and starin' back from the lookin' glass was 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. Lord forgive me for what I do, but if you want out girl it's up to you. Now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown." 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 when she started to speak She looked at our pitiful shack and then she looked at me and took a ragged breath "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-healed 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." 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
