- The official remastered audio video for Reba's “Fancy” from her 1990 album, Rumor Has It, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year: strm.to/RMRumo....
I remember it all very well looking back
It was the summer I turned eighteen
We lived in a one room, rundown 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 dancing dress
Mama washed and combed and curled my hair
And she painted my eyes and lips
Then I stepped into a satin dancing dress
That had a split on the side clean up to my hip
It was red velvet trim and it fit me good
Standing back from the looking 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""
She said, ""Here's your one chance Fancy, don't let me down""

#Reba #YouLie #Fancy #CountryMusic #RumorHasIt
Reba didn’t have to go this hard on this song but, like a legend she did ❤
Blake Shelton losertown
As a black woman, country music is what I grew up with. Reba is edgy and talented. She sings songs bravely and purely. Amazing talent!
Same mixed here but all I know is a bad ass white lady raised me. Thank the man above for my mama and I know good country music !!! ❤
why not as a woman ,,,, titles and classification are just old news rise above
😢@@shannonrobinson9624
Don't matter what color u are:)!
I'm a Metalhead and I absolutely love this song.
check out lights went out in georgia.
Samesies
it's a great storytelling masterpiece! I love country and metal so it's nice to see a crossover♑️💟☯️
I am too. Honestly I've theorized that people who listen to mostly metal typically have an immense appreciation for all forms of music. Plus I mean, Reba and Dolly Parton's a Queens lol.
@@audyshtpostshere4708 the story behind this song is sad, but the last verse says it all. Forgive me for what I do, but if you want out, it's up to you.
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.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you find solace in that she is no longer in pain. I hope your family finds peace this year
@@tay2944 thank you for your kind words. Thank you and stay safe.
Fancy is my best song
Me too
Fancy is my name and Reba I am your biggest 1 fan
"Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy. They'll be nice to you." 😳 When I finally understood what this song was about. Powerful.
Reba’s videos are like mini movies - tells the story of the lyrics perfectly. Love you Ms Reba - 🤗💖🇬🇧 X
Thought for sure someone would have made a movie about this song by now.
@@donaldmoose1562 I thought so too! It deserves to be told!
@@donaldmoose1562 give it some time

Time?! It's been 30 years lol
in the early 90's i met Reba when the dealership i worked at fixed her tour bus. she is absolutely down to earth nice woman and is very good looking as plain jane in sweats and sneakers. she took pictures with us all signed them hugged and bought the shop lunch. she has my respect.
Beautiful music from a beautiful and extremely talented woman. It speaks of hardship, desperation, and a rise from rags to riches. It brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it.
One of the most intense vocal performances in all of country music. Hardcore and gorgeous. I know every word and nearly cry every time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Man this hits home.
I love Reba!!!
This song really hit home for me. I am 40 now but I did what I had to do to get by from 18 till 35. I now have meant an amazing man that has taken me in and loves me for all my faults and now I work a real job and appreciate all the good in my life. Thank you Reba
Glad to hear that!
Me too girl. Except the nice guy part.
The line, "I might have been birn 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.
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
Da Nightcore Thanks for the lyrics - lots of words in this song - love it 😍 Love Reba 🤗💖🇬🇧 X
Yes. We've heard the lyrics.
Thank youu
I am more of a heavy metal fan But at 45, I GREW UP with Reba and she is Amazing. She is a country legend and she will never be out done by anybody from any genre.
No female country singer ever measures up to PATSY CLINE.
Hi, dear. How are you? I wish you a great day.
Love Fancy, your voice is flawless, love you.
I love fancy is my best song
Reba's voice is great.
As a BLACK MAN, I really relate to this song!!! I am 62 years old. I simply love REBA!!!!! This song made my life easier and what I am today!!!! Love you soooo much REBA!!!
Music is healing. Positive love to you and yours. Glad you shared!!! :)
As a Taiwanese transgender prostitute I simply love Reba also 🥲
@JoeJoe2123 shame on you u know what real gender you are
@@Daniel-ug4puthey certainly do! that's why they're transgender, to be the real gender they are.
@@Daniel-ug4pushame on you for judging someone publicly for being themselves. Only one can judge and you are not him!
Who’s still listening in 2024
Me 😊
@@jasminelazarick516 Love this songgg!!!
I am, Niagara falls Canada.. from Buffalo NY.. will forever love Ms.Reba
me :D
I am and always will
Lets talk about Reba McEntire's first performance at the Grand Ole opry in Tennessee. Her entire family showed up to show their support . Now that's what I call love ❤❤❤
I got a question for all you country singers hav you ever played red dead redemption quit a fun game especially online
Tennessee is quite the place to grow up but could you make it in ky you should settle down here a lot of us haven't made it out of the hills like she has and she's been famous most of her life the rest of us grow old still poor
nothing but love for reba:)
your just one of those:((((((((((
@@mattfairhurst8752 hi Matt what ever do you mean there no need for name calling calm down play it Kool man
Reba added the jazz to a sad song sung decades ago by Bobbie Gentry, and she NAILED it!!! Love you Reba!!!🥰😚🥰😚🥰
Bobby Gentry was the songwriter too.
every time i jam this song Reba gives me goosebumps!!! very few singers can do this
I agree. Reba McIntyre made this song her own, by not attempting to replicate the original.❤❤
No matter how hard new artist try NOTHING while sound or live up to classics like this!
very true
The music video brung a tear from my eyes 👀😢 That’s how much it effort me.
Thanks For Your Love And Support Michael Caywood
Thanks For Your Love And Support Michael Caywood you can reach me via email rebamcentire@gmail.com
Much Love From RebaMcEnitre ❤️
I heard this song recently for the first time. It's the best country song I've ever heard! I moved from a big city to a small town to make it big in "small town" America. This is my one shot to make it big. Momma: I won't let 'ya down!
Good luck brother. I'm selling my house in 2-3 years and running to Kentucky, Wisconsin, west virginia, or Missouri, and putting all my funds into farming
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. I wonder what she thinks of Reba singing her song. We all wonder what happened to her and hope she is happy now.
Reba McIntyre knows who she is, because she listed her name in the song credits for this album.❤
The Queen of Country
FACT
Got to see her live in January of 2022. She was fabulous. Her vocals are just stunning.
I love the descrescendo with that guitar melody from 4:44-5:00.
SANG REBAAAAA
My new favorite jam!
Here's a story for you take you back to 2003 I was in my mom's dodge Dakota and this came on the radio and my mom got to see a autistic seven year just jamming along best song still my favorite to this day and I'm 26 and still love it
I’m a huge metalhead and generally dislike country music (nothing against it at all, it’s just not my thing), but Reba is incredible. Beautiful voice, powerful stage presence. Just an excellent artist.
I don't listen to much country music, but I've been known to play this on repeat. 🤟🤟
Done as only Reba could. A sad story but taken to the heart and one cant but love it after all its done by the greatest.
Bobby Gentry may be the original singer but Reba has the vocals to carry out this song...Reba tells the story of Fancy and also sings it like no other singer before her has...I'm truly devoted to Reba...forever young...
More important than singing Bobbie Gentry CREATED the song as the Songwriter.
No Bobbie Gentry- No Reba "Fancy"
@@guitarhillbilly1482 I bet Bobbie Gentry enjoys the royalties from this song.
@@GeorgeGrover-ho9df You are very correct.
@@guitarhillbilly1482similar to mine inch nails song “hurt” and Johnny cash the writer might’ve made it but it isn’t there song anymore
Bobbie also wrote the song.
Too bad you don't hear this version on radio with the last verse. This is the one I love.
Love Fancy it’s a wonderful song 🎵as to all your songs the amazing voice of singing 🎤 country music Reba God bless your voice it’s so Flawless ❤️
This song got me through being molested in first grade I would put my head phones on laying in bed and cry and dream of a better life I'm 33 now and I'm ok!!!!!
So very sorry you experienced that evil from another person and I'm glad you are doing well, as you deserve. The song has nothing to do with what happened to you., though. You were totally a victim and innocent. Fancy had choices and was an adult. God bless you!
Reminds me of my Great-Grandmother after she died. I do what I have to get ahead.
This is my uncle's favorite song thank you soo much REBA!!!
Classic song!!
God I freaking love this song!
Me! Love this song!
Amazing story for a song. Thank You for your music 🎶🎶🎶🎶 much love to you Reba. ✝️💟🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🎶🎶🎶🎶♉🐂👋
Thank you Reba for this master peice of a song me and my father love this song
Reba is the QUEEN of country!
My Mama and I jam to this one!! Stay Fancy love❤
"To thine own self be true" ❤
My father used to work for Reba and from the stories she is such a amazing woman her music is so comforting and amazing my father use to mix the music for her but now because of his disability he isn't able to work in the music business anymore but he always talks about Reba and how much he loves her I love her music so much too
That voice ! And that attitude ❤️💥
Hi, dear. How are you? I wish you a great day.
They need to make fancy into a movie. There I said it. 😊
And I would love to see the ending! I love this song but based off the momma's going to jail for exploitation if she doesn't die! I think it'll be a great movie
Yes they should ❤😂
I believe they did. It's on Hulu
This song is pure impowerment thank you Reba for telling the story of fancy rae baker !!
Yeaassss queeen
Awesome as everything that comes from you Reba! Please stay with us always! Greatness surrounds you always!
Thank you so much!
❤️❤️
The photo on this album is the cutest I've ever seen Reba look. She got that Texas stance.
THE VOICE # TEAM REBA !!!!!!!
Legendary lyric, legendary artist, PERIOD. Tell me that story, girl.
This is my favorite song I like Reba songs but this one reminded me how confident I am and I know how to stand up to myself ❤️
this song went to #8 on the country charts in 1991!!!
They don't make country like this anymore, hell they don't make music like this anymore 🤘🏾
love this song!!
I love how she sings the story of a victim, but with the true power it deserves
You gave me one last chance. I won't let you down.
I love this song for ever Reba ❤
She still looks good for her age
Ive been obsessed with Reba since I was a tiny kid!!
Great song,Reba
Lively music for a very sad story
I'm not a country music listener but this one is a plus for me
Wow very nice song Thanks Reba for your perform.
This song and the night the lights went out in Georgia are straight bangers !
I thank i found me a new singer it is Mrs.Rena and you are my favorite singer ever.
I love Reba McEntire
" Fancy " is a song written and recorded by Bobbie Gentry in 1969. 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.
We know and no one has owned it like Reba since !
@@lisacarver1128 Reba would not own it if Bobbie Gentry had not CREATED the song.
@@guitarhillbilly1482 🙄
The Queen ❤
Yes Queen
Great song by a great artist
All time favorite song grew up to her ❤ you reba
...Here's your one chance ______ don't let me down...
Hi, dear. How are you? I wish you a great day.
I'm the contrarian in these comments, but as a mom with a daughter I'd encourage some other type of "chance." I'm a big Reba fan but this song makes me cringe, although I have compassion for the mom's desperation. A young healthy woman has other options.
Reba does a great job with the song, of course.
I love this song but it makes me cry every time I listen to it😢
Love you Reba you're an amazing person always welcome to my house!
Reba fam here for sure! Always have been
Classic 🎉😊
Love the song and Reba
Reba & Dolly need to do a DUET!!!!
And Miley should pop out during performance!
🎉❤ The Queens 👑 of Country and the new Heiress Miley!!! ROCK ON 🎸
YOU ARE LOVED BY ME! 😊

We all can relate 🤗 this beautiful song 💖
I feel like this story must explain her life, I don't think you can come up with something this real without living it. And she's the Queen of country most likely because of the story behind this song
This was a cover but I do think this is based on a true story but not Reba's
You’d be surprised how creative people can be. It’s all about knowledge, life experiences and learning different peoples stories. Realism is hard to come by, certainly in this current society.
Treasured icon!!
THIS IS rock n roll
So I was just depressed as shit and then I listened to this anthem bless Reba🎉
Reba McEntire is a national treasure
This is by far my favorite song of all time
I'm a jazz lover but omg this is actually rlly good.
25 years later and I still remember every word of this song...like it was yesterday.
this song used to make me cry but i love it
It's was 2003 I seven driving out to my grandpa and grandma house out in the country and nothin better then country and this song was playing
Classic
Bailey she sounds like Reba good looking beautiful like her
Big mood 💖
I'm not too much into country but I love Reba ❤
Same
Fancy is my name
I wonder if she knew this was going be what it is now. So many years this song still stands tall.
