Текст (слова) песни: Jody Miller - Manhattan Kansas
Manhattan Kansas ain`t no place to have a baby When you got no man to give it his last name And her folks back in Manhattan didn`t treat her like a lady So she took her child and caught an evening train She found a job in Denver washing dishes in a diner At least it buys her baby milk to drink He once told her she was pretty but the only ring it got her Is the ring of grease that runs around the sink
Yes she laid beside him gentle cause he told her that he loved her And he made her dance before the music played But at least she`s not a beggar she rather wash her dishes It makes her feel as if her hands`re clean
At night she stands there thinkin` bout the men back home in Kansas And how men happen made up feel ashamed She stares down through the soap suds reaches down and pulls the drain plug And watches as Manhattan drains away Yes she laid beside him gentle... Manhattan Kansas ain`t no place...
