Letra de Manitoba

Up in Manitoba The sky was very blue The people were a few And nights were never colder Once I heard a wailing sound The sky had turned to red So I got up from my bed And I wandered far from town I have seen the face of God And I was not afraid I have seen the face of God And I have dearly paid The darkness came right down on me There were no more lights to follow So I slept inside the hollow Of a dead and fallen tree Did you know three days I tried To wake myself? But, no My flesh had turned to snow And I thought that I had died For I have seen the face of God And I was not afraid I have seen the face of God And I have dearly paid And though I had it rough They got me home in time They got me homemade wine But it was not enough The cold had made me dumb And I was sent away These walls are here today For fifty years and some Yes I have seen the face of God And I was not afraid I have seen the face of God And I have dearly paid [x2]
