Donna Fargo - Manhattan, Kansas Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Manhattan, Kansas
  • Manhattan, Kansas ain’t no place to have a baby
  • When you got no man to give it his last name
  • And my folks back in Manhattan didn’t want me or my bundle
  • So I took my child and caught an evening train.
  • And I found a job in Denver washing dishes in a diner
  • At least it buys my baby milk to drink
  • He once told me I was pretty but the only ring it got me
  • Was the ring of grease that runs around the sink
  • (Chorus)
  • Yes, I lay beside him gentle
  • ‘Cause he told me that he loved me
  • And he made me dance before the music played
  • But at least I didn’t beg him
  • I’d rather wash his dishes
  • ‘Cause it makes me feel as if my hands are clean
  • At night I stand here thinkin’
  • ‘Bout the man back home in Kansas
  • And how his folks just turned away the shame
  • And I stare down through the soapsuds
  • And reached down and pull the drain plug
  • And I watch as Manhattan drains away
  • (Repeat chorus)
  • Yes it makes me feel as if my hands are clean
