A
When you mention Manitoba,
D
I'll be mindful of the prairies,
AE
To the province where the old Red River flows,
A
It's the land of shining water,
D
where the beaver and the otter,
AE7A
Play to-gether where the Prairie Crocus grows.
***ChorusDA
Mani-toba, you're my sunshine,
DA
My twilight, and re-pose,
DA
Mani-toba, you're my heaven,
DAE7A
Be-cause it's heaven where the Prairie Crocus grows.
A
When you mention Manitoba,
D
I'll be mindful of her beauty,
AE
In the evening when the sunset fades a-way,
A
And the moon of golden glimmer,
D
on the wheat field seems to shimmer,
AE7A
And the night bird sings the closing of the day.
***ChorusAD
When you mention Manitoba, I'll be mindful of the valleys,
AE
And the old brown hills calling me a-way,
A
Where the favours of our giver,
D
dwell a-mong the lakes and rivers,
AE7A
From the U.S. line to the shores of Hudson Bay.
