A    
When you mention Manitoba,  
        D          
I'll be mindful of the prairies, 
       A                                E      
To the province where the old Red River flows, 
         A        
It's the land of shining water,  
          D    
where the beaver and the otter, 
       A                 E7             A           
Play to-gether where the Prairie Crocus grows. 
***Chorus 
    D                A       
Mani-toba, you're my sunshine, 
   D               A       
My twilight, and re-pose, 
    D                A       
Mani-toba, you're my heaven, 
  D           A                E7             A            
Be-cause it's heaven where the Prairie Crocus grows. 
A                           
When you mention Manitoba,  
        D     
I'll be mindful of her beauty, 
       A                              E       
In the evening when the sunset fades a-way, 
        A    
And the moon of golden glimmer,  
       D      
on the wheat field seems to shimmer, 
        A                    E7             A           
And the night bird sings the closing of the day. 
***Chorus 
A                                  D    
When you mention Manitoba, I'll be mindful of the valleys, 
        A                           E       
And the old brown hills calling me a-way, 
          A    
Where the favours of our giver,  
       D     
dwell a-mong the lakes and rivers, 
         A                E7               A           
From the U.S. line to the shores of Hudson Bay. 
***Chorus
