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
