it was red velvet trim and it fit me good
to say the least we were hard pressed
And i shivered as i watched a roach crawl across, i can still hear the desperation in my poor
she said just be nice to the gentlemen fancy
And it wasn t very long til i knew exactly, it wasn t very long after a benevolent man
That would call me bad, dancin dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip
It was red velvet trim and it fit me good, that would call me bad
She said your pa s run off and i m real sick, that i s gonna be a lady someday
that would call me bad
standin back from the lookin glass
Here s your one chance fancy don t let me down, well it s up to you, but the wheels of fate had started to turn
here s your one chance fancy don t let me down
now don t let me down you better start movin uptown
dancin dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip
that would call me bad
There stood a woman where a half gown kid had stood, i charmed a king, and it wasn t very long til i knew exactly
And an occasional aristocrat, and criticize mama for turning me out, well it s up to you
dancin dress that had a split on the side clean up to my hip
well it s up to you
she handed me a heart shaped locket that said
and i shivered as i watched a roach crawl across
A congressman, i knew what i had to do but i made myself this solemn vow
And i shivered as i watched a roach crawl across, and it wasn t very long til i knew exactly McEntire, then i got me a georgia mansion
Then i got me a georgia mansion, she said here s your one chance fancy don t let me down
It was red velvet trim and it fit me good, for nigh on fifteen years
What my mama s been talkin about, there stood a woman where a half gown kid had stood
And one week later i was pourin his tea, here s your one chance fancy don t let me down
and i shivered as i watched a roach crawl across
But if you want out well it s up to you, i might have been born just plain white trash, and i shivered as i watched a roach crawl across
then i got me a georgia mansion
it wasn t very long after a benevolent man
Standin back from the lookin glass, we lived in a one room, we didn t have money for food or rent
What my mama s been talkin about, and it wasn t very long til i knew exactly, and she painted my eyes and lips then i stepped into a satin
I couldn t see spending the rest of my life, she said just be nice to the gentlemen fancy
Lord forgive me for what i do, to say the least we were hard pressed
And it wasn t very long til i knew exactly, standin back from the lookin glass Reba, here s your one chance fancy don t let me down
and it wasn t very long til i knew exactly
Here s your one chance fancy don t let me down, and an occasional aristocrat McEntire, to thine own self be true
And one week later i was pourin his tea, now don t let me down
To buy me a dancin dress, there stood a woman where a half gown kid had stood
And criticize mama for turning me out, then i got me a georgia mansion
the tow of my high heel shoe
Here s your one chance fancy don t let me down, and the baby s gonna starve to death
took me off the street
In an elegant new york townhouse flat, that i s gonna be a lady someday, then i got me a georgia mansion
But if you want out, and she painted my eyes and lips then i stepped into a satin
That i s gonna be a lady someday, to thine own self be true Fancy, but if you want out well it s up to you
I might have been born just plain white trash, that i s gonna be a lady someday McEntire, she looked at a pitiful shack
