Yowch. What's with the gratingly different lyrics to "Manitoba" in the SMYT liner notes? Doesn't someone proofread things like this, or was this what Frank himself gave to be printed?

Maybe it was just the lyric he had written down. I've noticed a few albums where the lyrics are slightly different, but these are moreso than usual. So really I don't have an answer.

Examples for those of us still waiting?

up in Manitoba
the sky was very blue
the people were a few
and nights were never colder

once I heard a wailing sound
the sky had turned to red
so I got up from my bed
and I wandered far from town

I have seen the face of God
and I was not afraid
I have seen the face of God
and I have dearly paid

the darkness came right
down on me
there were no more lights
to follow
so I slept inside the hollow
of a dead and fallen tree

did you know three days I tried
to wake myself? but. no
my flesh had turned to snow
and I thought that I had died

and though I had it rough
they got me home in time
they gave me homemade wine
but it was not enough

the cold had made me dumb
and I was sent away
these walls are here today
for fifty years and some
