Jody Miller - Manhattan Kansas

Текст

Manhattan Kansas ain't no place to have a baby
When you got no man to give it his last name
And her folks back in Manhattan didn't treat her like a lady
So she took her child and caught an evening train
She found a job in Denver washing dishes in a diner
At least it buys her baby milk to drink
He once told her she was pretty but the only ring it got her
Is the ring of grease that runs around the sink

Yes she laid beside him gentle cause he told her that he loved her
And he made her dance before the music played
But at least she's not a beggar she rather wash her dishes
It makes her feel as if her hands're clean

At night she stands there thinkin' bout the men back home in Kansas
And how men happen made up feel ashamed
She stares down through the soap suds reaches down and pulls the drain plug
And watches as Manhattan drains away
Yes she laid beside him gentle...
Manhattan Kansas ain't no place...
Перевод

Манхэттен, Канзас - не место для рождения ребенка
Когда нет мужчины, который дал бы ему свою фамилию
А ее родители на Манхэттене не обращались с ней как с леди
Так что она взяла ребенка и села на вечерний поезд
Она нашла работу в Денвере мытьем посуды в закусочной
По крайней мере, это позволяет ей пить детское молоко
Однажды он сказал ей, что она красивая, но единственное кольцо, которое она получила она
Это кольцо жира, которое растекается вокруг раковины

Да, она нежно лежала рядом с ним, потому что он сказал ей, что любит ее
И он заставил ее танцевать под музыку
Но по крайней мере, она не нищая, она скорее моет посуду
У нее такое ощущение, будто руки у нее чистые

Ночью она стоит там и думает о мужчинах дома, в Канзасе
И как мужчины бывают накрашены, им стыдно
Она смотрит вниз сквозь мыльную пену, протягивает руку и вытаскивает сливную пробку
И наблюдает, как Манхэттен утекает
Да, она нежно лежала рядом с ним...
Манхэттен, Канзас, это негде...
