Manitoba

When you mention Manitoba, I'll be mindful of the prairies, To the province where the old Red River flows, It's the land of shining water, where the beaver and the otter, Play to-gether where the Prairie Crocus grows. ***Chorus Mani-toba, you're my sunshine, My twilight, and re-pose, Mani-toba, you're my heaven, Be-cause it's heaven where the Prairie Crocus grows. When you mention Manitoba, I'll be mindful of her beauty, In the evening when the sunset fades a-way, And the moon of golden glimmer, on the wheat field seems to shimmer, And the night bird sings the closing of the day. ***Chorus When you mention Manitoba, I'll be mindful of the valleys, And the old brown hills calling me a-way, Where the favours of our giver, dwell a-mong the lakes and rivers, From the U.S. line to the shores of Hudson Bay. ***Chorus
