Look at Chain2Fate's comment

never seen the video before thanks for posting it

@halfalanche oh they died thats sad but i thought the babyy was taken by welfare

ya that's true, my bad!!!

This song is sung in English. How do you guys get so confused as to what Reba's singing about? Its as clear as day. Damn. I think Bill Maher is right. People are getting dumber.

The mother is dying. She can't take care of Fancy or the young baby. She can't afford food or rent but spends every last penny on a sexy dancing dress with a split clean up to the side of her hip. She wants her daughter to have a good life. Back in THOSE days, women were limited to what they can do...especially in small southern towns. Fancy soon understood what her 'mama was talkin' about'. She CHARMED a king, a congressman, aristocrats (rich dudes)...the lyrics tell the story. Pay attention

no. if you listen to the lyrics, it clearly states that the state welfare came and took the baby and mama died.... not both... i'm going to guess it is probably a family burial plot...
