Manhattan, Kansas

Ain't no place to have a baby

C G C C
So I took my child and caught an evening train

🎸 Verse 2:
C
And I found a job in Denver
F
Washing dishes in a diner
C G
At least it buys the baby milk to drink
C
He once told me I was pretty
F
But the only ring he got me is
C G C
The ring of grease that runs around the sink
🎸 Chorus:
G
Yes, I lay beside him gentle
F
'Cause he told me that he loved me
Bb F G G7
And he made me dance before the music played
C
But at least I didn't beg him
F
I'd rather wash my dishes
C G C
'Cause it makes me feel as if my hands are clean

C
Sometimes I stand here thinking
F
About a man back home in Kansas
C G
And how the folks just turned away ashamed

Now I stare down through the soapsuds

And reach down and pull the drain plug
C G C
And watch it as Manhattan floats away
🎸 Chorus:
G
Yes, I lay beside him gentle
F
'Cause he told me that he loved me
Bb F G G7
And he made me dance before the music played
C
But at least I didn't beg him

I'd rather wash my dishes
C G C C
'Cause it makes me feel as if my hands are clean
