Reba McEntire - Fancy (Official Audio) 

I'm a Metalhead and I absolutely love this song.

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.

Reba didn’t have to go this hard on this song but, like a legend she did ❤

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!

"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

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

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.

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!!!

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 ❤❤❤

As a mix of a cowgirl and a metal head, I have listened to this song a little after it came out. I absolutely love it

every time i jam this song Reba gives me goosebumps!!! very few singers can do this

Man this hits home. I love Reba!!!

The music video brung a tear from my eyes 👀😢 That’s how much it effort me.

Who’s still listening in 2024

SANG REBAAAAA

Love Fancy, your voice is flawless, love you.

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.

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.

This song is so refreshing in my life rn! Thank you Reba!

One of the most intense vocal performances in all of country music. Hardcore and gorgeous. I know every word and nearly cry every time. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

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

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.

Reba added the jazz to a sad song sung decades ago by Bobbie Gentry, and she NAILED it!!! Love you Reba!!!🥰😚🥰😚🥰

Got to see her live in January of 2022. She was fabulous. Her vocals are just stunning.

The Queen of Country

I love the descrescendo with that guitar melody from 4:44-5:00.

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

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...

No matter how hard new artist try NOTHING while sound or live up to classics like this!

Awesome as everything that comes from you Reba! Please stay with us always! Greatness surrounds you always! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

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 ❤️

Classic song!!

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!!!!!

Too bad you don't hear this version on radio with the last verse. This is the one I love.

This is my uncle's favorite song thank you soo much REBA!!!

That voice ! And that attitude ❤️💥

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

love this song!!

Amazing story for a song. Thank You for your music 🎶🎶🎶🎶 much love to you Reba. ✝️💟🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🎶🎶🎶🎶♉🐂👋

"To thine own self be true" ❤

I don't listen to much country music, but I've been known to play this on repeat. 🤟🤟

The photo on this album is the cutest I've ever seen Reba look. She got that Texas stance.

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 ❤️

Reminds me of my Great-Grandmother after she died. I do what I have to get ahead.

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.

God I freaking love this song!

Reba is the QUEEN of country!

My Mama and I jam to this one!! Stay Fancy love❤

Thank you Reba for this master peice of a song me and my father love this song

My new favorite jam!

This song is pure impowerment thank you Reba for telling the story of fancy rae baker !!

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.

Yeaassss queeen

THIS IS rock n roll

Yes Queen

25 years later and I still remember every word of this song...like it was yesterday.

I love how she sings the story of a victim, but with the true power it deserves

They need to make fancy into a movie. There I said it. 😊

Classic

Wow very nice song Thanks Reba for your perform.

Legendary lyric, legendary artist, PERIOD. Tell me that story, girl.

They don't make country like this anymore, hell they don't make music like this anymore 🤘🏾

Reba fam here for sure! Always have been

this song went to #8 on the country charts in 1991!!!

I'm not a country music listener but this one is a plus for me

" 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.

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.

this song used to make me cry but i love it

This song and the night the lights went out in Georgia are straight bangers !

I love this song for ever Reba ❤

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 is by far my favorite song of all time
