Il testo della Manhattan kansas

Manhattan kansas ain't no place to have a baby
If you got no man to give it his last name
And my folks back in manhattan didn't want me or her bundle
So i took my child and caught an evening train
I got 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
Is the ring of grease that runs around the sink
Yes i laid 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 my dishes
It makes me feel as if my hands're clean
( steel )
At night i stands there thinkin' bout the men back home in kansas
And how my folks just turned away ashamed
I look down through the soap suds reache down and pulls the drain plug
And watches as manhattan drains away
Yes i laid beside him gentle...
