Manhattan Kansas Lyrics - Loretta Lynn

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

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..
