Manitoba
Frank Black & The Catholics

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
