lyrics

Manitoba woman treats me so unkind (x2)
Gotta get back to Manitoba and kill that woman of mine

I was gone for a week, I didn’t think it was too long (x2)
But it only took seven days for her to do me wrong

I’m going to the station, catch that westward train (x2)
Well, it’s so hard to tell when all my love’s in vain

Gonna pack my pistol, bring my silver spade (x2)
Gonna find that woman and put her in her grave

I said, “Girl, don’t hurt me. Please don’t dog me around” (x2)
“Don’t you mistreat me or kick me when I’m down

I got in last night and read that letter she wrote (x2)
Well, watch out, pretty mama, my knife is on your throat

Gonna pack my pistol, bring my silver spade (x2)
Manitoba woman, gonna put you in your grave

Manitoba woman treats me so unkind (x2)
Gotta get back to Manitoba and kill that woman of mine

I try to come up with ideas and riffs that catch my ear, and then I piece 'em together until something (hopefully) slightly catchy and coherent emerges. I reckon that sums up my approach to songwriting. :-)

"Well, sir, I just make it sound like I think it ought to." - Mississippi John Hurt, when asked how he created his songs.

Cheers from Winnipeg, Canada, y'all! Go, Jets, go!!! ... more
