I transcribed the lyrics to these three songs.
enjoy

Manitoba

Up in Manitoba the sky was very blue
The people were a few
And nights were getting colder
And when I heard the sound
I saw the sky turn red
And I got up from my bed
And I wandered far from town

Yes, I have seen the face of god
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 deaden fallen tree
I’ll tell you how three days I tried
To wake me up ah, but no
My flesh had turned to snow
And I thought I had died

Yes, I have seen the face of god
I was not afraid
I have seen the face of god
And I have dearly paid

You know I had it rough
They got me home in time
They gave me homemade wine
But it as not enough
The cold had made me dumb
And I was sent away
These walls are here today
For fifty years and some

There Goes Nadine or Nadine

There goes Nadine
Head to toe in black
There goes Nadine
Head to toe in black
When I see Nadine I want that

Well she let me in
Underneath her clothes
Well she let me in
Underneath her clothes
That girl got skin like a ghost

There goes Nadine
Nadine, Nadine
There goes Nadine
Nadine, Nadine

Oh, I think that witchy lady
Been cooking up some spells
Cause when she walks on by you know
You love the way she smells

She has a big gray car
She could take me for a ride
She has a big gray car
She could take me for a ride
Well, maybe we’ll park and I’ll drive

Beautiful Day/Horrible Day

Well, I took a little something
To make my worries go away
I lay down with a movie
And I started to feel ok
But I heard the doorbell ringing
And I opened up to see
My worries they were waiting there for me

Now death as you’d expect
It was all dressed up in black
Misfortune in her stockings
And a curve upon her back
And the chorus of the lonely
In their gospel robes of course
They were singing about my imminent divorce

It’s a beautiful day, no it’s a horrible day
Maybe I will grin but I won’t bare
It’s a beautiful day, no it’s a horrible day
For the first time in my life I just don’t care

So let me get my coat
Let me get my stash
I trade my VCR for a pocket full of cash
I take off with my worries
And I’ll even let death drive
I’d sure to get there dead or alive

Yeah, It’s a beautiful day, no it’s a horrible day
Maybe I will grin but I won’t bare
It’s a beautiful day, no it’s a horrible day
For the first time in my life I don’t need the luck
For the first time in my life I don’t need the luck
For the first time in my life

No big deal, but I can tell you it's actually "dead and fallen".

good work!
