Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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
