frank black the catholics – manitoba lyrics
up in manitoba
the sky was very blue
the people were a few
and nights were getting colder
and when i heard the sound
saw the sky turn red
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
darkness came i couldn’t see
i had no light to follow
i slept inside the hollow
of a dead and fallen tree
i’ll tell you how three days i tried
to wake my up, ah, but no
my flesh had turned to snow
and i thought 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
and they gave 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
i have seen the face of god
and i was not afraid
i have seen the face of god
and i have dearly paid
