Manitoba Sweetfields

Have you ever seen the skies in Manitoba?
The deepest blue you'll ever care to know
and in it you will find the price of heaven
where farmers prayers are sent for crops to grow

I used to see the skies of Manitoba
turn dark and rain when fields were blowing dry
Those easy times are gone
as the summer dust blows on
oh my Manitoba sweetfieds should never die.

Hold on, you farmers
these fields are wet from snow
hold on, let's hope
this year the bumper crop will grow

These farms will remain in Manitoba
and these sons of the pioneers whose hearts
could read the sky
no matter what the cost
or the money that's been lost
oh my Manitoba sweetfieds will never die.

Have you ever seen the skies in Manitoba?
The deepest blue you'll ever care to know
and in it you will find the price of heaven
where farmers prayers are sent for crops to grow.

Those easy times are gone
as the summer dust blows on
oh my Manitoba sweetfieds should never die.

Bandcamp generously sends 85% of your support directly toward my humble living expenses.

This is the only place you will find all of my albums. I have most of them on YouTube Music (Topic Channel) and Spotify now as well. However, music is not free to produce and neither is rent and groceries.

For best audio results, download music at minimum 320 MP3. WAV is best. Thanks 🙏
